This course provides comprehensive, hands-on training on leveraging Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio to transform and optimize human resource processes. Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered productivity tool integrated into Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. It utilizes advanced large language models (LLMs), including GPT-4, LLaMA, Mistral, and Phi, to assist with drafting, summarizing, and generating content, as well as providing real-time insights and context-aware suggestions by leveraging data from Microsoft Graph.

Participants will also work with Copilot Studio, a low-code platform featuring over 1,500 prebuilt data connectors that empowers users to build custom AI-driven solutions and automate workflows while maintaining data security and compliance. The curriculum combines focused theory sessions with practical lab exercises where participants apply their knowledge using real-world HR scenarios built around the Contoso Enterprise case study, covering recruitment, internal mobility, employee recognition, and benefits management.
