Build real-world ready skills with interactive learning experiences: a Q&A with Microsoft

Wednesday 23 April 2025
Seminar Theatre 8

Every attendee wants to crack the ‘skilling’ challenge. You know the one, not enough people with the right skills despite over $340 billion being poured into training. That’s becoming even more acute due to AI and skills-based organisations. So what’s the answer? Interactive learning experiences that immerse learners in the tasks they’ll have to perform with the skills they’ve just acquired.

Microsoft has invested heavily into interactive training that scales across different cohorts, from user events where developers can train with the latest Azure features and techniques, to partners and sellers who are supporting Microsoft products.

In this chat between Alex O’Donnell, Director, Experience Development at Microsoft and Sarah Danzl, Chief Marketing Officer at Skillable, attendees will learn how to incorporate interactive learning elements into their training, how it works in the wider ecosystem and the skill data generated from it.

Learning takeaways:

  • The new kinds of interactive training modalities and how these fit into existing learning ecosystems.
  • How Microsoft is using interactive learning in its user events, Microsoft Applied Skills, certifications and more. 
  • How Microsoft sees the future of skilling given the rise of AI and the skills-based organisation.
