The Enterprise Skills Initiative (ESI) is a program designed to build the technical skills for businesses with customized Skilling Plans that include free and discounted training and certification offerings. As we work with customers to digitally transform their businesses, a top request we hear is that they want a clear path to improve the technical skills of their teams to make the most of their technology investments. By facilitating our customer’s Azure skilling, ESI is helping customers reach their business goals – both for their success and ours. Azure skills drive consumption and accelerate adoption of new workloads.
