About this tag
Microsoft Elevate is a skilling and credential program from Microsoft that targets educators, nonprofit professionals, public-sector workers, and women in Africa. The program pairs role-specific training with AI literacy credentials, often localized for specific regions such as Korea and Indonesia. Case studies show Elevate participants using Copilot for policy analysis, legal governance, and aquaculture training. In the disability sector, Elevate supported a voice-first care app that reduces paperwork. The program also includes a global fellowship for changemakers and partnerships like Absa's ElevateHer, which expands AI skilling for women across multiple African markets. A Thai Buddhist boarding school uses Elevate alongside Copilot and Surface devices to align AI tools with community-focused pedagogy.
