This month, we kicked off our new fiscal year. On July 15, Microsoft hosted MCAPS Start for Partners, during which we unveiled our strategic priorities, key investments, enhancements to the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, and new opportunities to scale your business. One of these opportunities, our new Microsoft Partner Skilling Hub, is available now in preview.
The Skilling Hub is a unified platform that brings together all partner skilling resources—Microsoft Titan Skilling Academy, LevelUp, GPS Skilling Hub, SureStep, AI Partner Training Days, and regional events—into one seamless experience. First announced in our June blog post, this streamlined platform is your new home base for training, certification prep, and continuous growth.
One of the most exciting opportunities in the Skilling Hub is Microsoft Titan Skilling Academy. This centralized, global learning portal is designed to help partner sales professionals boost their skills and close more deals through structured, role-based training. Launched on June 1, 2025, its first module, “Sales Titan: Threat Protection,” focuses on Microsoft 365 E5 Security and offers on-demand training, certifications, and resources to support confident customer conversations.
Built for you, shaped by your feedback
The Skilling Hub isn’t just a new portal—it’s a partner-driven experience. As a partner-centered organization, we listened carefully to your feedback and shaped the platform around the capabilities and features that matter most to you. You gave us valuable insights about what would be most useful, including:
- A single access point for role-based learning.
- Easy-to-follow guidance that supports specialization and certification acquisition.
- A simplified interface for purposeful learning journeys.
We plan to deliver all this and more.
One unified platform for all your skilling needs
The Skilling Hub will house various skilling paths, which will be added in phases. Each of these skilling paths is made up of modules that provide detailed training developed by experts in the field. The hub serves as your centralized access point for skilling and training, offering a single streamlined interface where you can discover, manage, and progress through learning content curated to meet your needs.
With a focus on clarity and accessibility, the platform brings together:
- Sales, technical, and solution-based learning in one intuitive experience.
- Skilling paths mapped to Solutions Partner designations and specializations.
- Continuously updated content on AI, data modernization, Azure innovation, industry scenarios, and more.
As new modules become available, we will add them to the platform—allowing you to continuously develop your team's capabilities and stay ahead in a competitive landscape.
Developing role-based content
We know that upskilling needs more than a one-size-fits-all approach. A successful company thrives through the collective effort and diverse talents of people working together toward a shared goal. The Skilling Hub supports role-based learning, allowing you to take courses and access resources tailored to your unique business objectives and responsibilities. We built this platform to meet the needs of individuals, no matter their level or area of expertise.
Driving real business impact
We understand that learning is only valuable if it helps you achieve real outcomes. That’s why the Skilling Hub is more than a content repository—it’s a growth engine.
Transform your learning into action and your upskilling into measurable results with features like:
- Personalized experiences that surface relevant content based on your engagement.
- Bookmarked and tracked learning history for individual and organization-level insights.
- Integrated platform access and frictionless sign-in for a seamless experience.
Whether you’re onboarding new hires, preparing your team for their next certification, building AI expertise, or developing industry solutions, this platform is your strategic partner in innovation.
