I had the pleasure of leading a session at ATI Batticaloa for  Higher National Diploma in English (HNDE) students, where we dove into the Microsoft AI Skills Fest. We explored the latest developments in AI, how to claim 100% free exam vouchers, and practical use cases across various industries. Most importantly, we discussed how to kickstart their journey with Microsoft’s powerful AI tools and services.

The session was both interactive and insightful, featuring real-world examples, live demos, and practical guidance for anyone looking to advance their skills and grow a career in AI, and how to improve Technical writing and Service Desk analysis using Microsoft technology.
