I'm a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador, which means part of my role is building resources that help people skill up on Microsoft tech for free.</p> <p>I just published a plan on Microsoft Learn. It covers four things: Microsoft 365 Copilot basics, effective prompt crafting, Power Automate workflows, and building canvas apps in Power Apps. It has a total of 27 modules and is self-paced at no cost. All you need is a free Microsoft account, and that's pretty much it.</p> <p>I picked this content because it keeps showing up in job descriptions, especially for roles at companies running on the Microsoft stack. Copilot alone is showing up in internship listings now. Power Automate is one of those skills that looks impressive on a resume because most people haven't really bothered to learn it.</p> <p>Badges show on your Microsoft Learn profile when you complete paths, which is worth something if you're building out a portfolio.</p> <p>The plan is here: <br> </p> <div class="crayons-card c-embed text-styles text-styles--secondary"> <div class="c-embed__content"> <div class="c-embed__cover"> <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/plans/qrk1tqtg6q162k?wt.mc_id=studentamb_519812" class="c-link align-middle" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img alt="" src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Flearn.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fmedia%2Fopen-graph-image.png" height="420" class="m-0" width="800"> </a> </div> <div class="c-embed__body"> <h2 class="fs-xl lh-tight"> <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/plans/qrk1tqtg6q162k?wt.mc_id=studentamb_519812" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link"> Plans | Microsoft Learn </a> </h2> <p class="truncate-at-3"> Microsoft Learn Plans </p> <div class="color-secondary fs-s flex items-center"> learn.microsoft.com </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>If you complete it and want feedback on how to frame it on your resume or LinkedIn, drop a comment.
