Unlocking Opportunities in Generative AI, Data and Cloud Technology
GenSpark is excited to share that we are teaming up with Microsoft to empower individuals and organizations through advanced training and certification in Microsoft’s AI and Cloud technologies. This initiative aligns with our commitment to skill development and opens new career opportunities in the rapidly growing technology industry.
Project Overview
The GenSpark-Microsoft Certification Project is an eight-week program designed to provide comprehensive training in three key areas:
- AZ-204 Azure Developer Associate
- AI-102 Azure AI Engineer Associate
- DP-203 Azure Data Engineer Associate
Phase 1: Training and Certification
Starting in early April 2024, our training program combines instructor-led sessions, hands-on labs, and self-study segments using Microsoft’s learning models. Participants will focus on building foundational skills in Generative AI and Azure, preparing them for the certification exams.
Phase 2: The Hackathon Experience
In May 2024, select individuals will be invited to an exclusive hackathon. This event is a fantastic opportunity for participants to apply their new skills in real-world AI scenarios, working in teams of five with optional coaching from the organizations they represent.
Microsoft and industry experts will judge the entries, and the teams with the best solutions will receive substantial prizes:
- Top Prize: $10,000
- Second Place: $5,000 (two prizes)
- Third Place: $2,500 (three prizes)
Additionally, the winning solutions and teams will be featured in a Microsoft blog post and in video interviews, giving participants significant exposure within the industry.
The first cohort of 150+ AI and Cloud certified experts will graduate and be ready for deployment at the end of June.
