Copilot AI Enablement for Frontline Teams
Description
Using their own Copilot-enabled environment, learners will work through realistic frontline scenarios across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint.
The course focuses on practical techniques for writing effective prompts, grounding AI responses in trusted work content, validating outputs, and applying responsible AI practices in line with organisational policies and data handling requirements.
Through guided demonstrations, micro-drills, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to summarise communications, extract actions and decisions, analyse operational data, draft professional documents, create presentations, and build reusable working artefacts that support team collaboration and productivity.
