Microsoft’s recently announced AI Odyssey program will provide training to 1 lakh Indian developers irrespective of their background or experience.

AI is the future of innovation and careers for budding tech enthusiasts. It is leading the tech talent to dominate the future’s booming industry of Artificial Intelligence. Many courses ranging from beginner to advanced are available to upskill tech enthusiasts and open new career opportunities. Microsoft, a leading tech giant, has introduced a new free course, AI Odyssey, to train 100,000 Indian developers in just one month.

What is AI Odyssey?

The course is set for a duration of one month, which will train professionals regardless of their prior experience in the tech industry or background. The participants can apply for the course on aka.ms/AIOdyssey and gain access to learning modules and online resources. The program consists of two levels, which have to be completed by 31st January 2024. 

The first level of the course will teach various Azure AI services that are used to build and deploy AI products. It will also contain various solutions to development challenges and their use cases. Participants will be required to access online resources like code samples and guides to develop practical skills. The second level will include an online assessment test with interactive lab tasks. On successful completion of the second level, the participants will earn Microsoft Applied Skills credentials.

Who Can Apply For It?

The program has only 1 lakh slots for participants. That’s why it is available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Having completed the course, the participants will get a chance to win a VIP pass to attend the Microsoft AI tour. The tour will be held in Bengaluru on 8 February 2024.

AI is the future of innovation and India is leading the way with its tech talent.
