Reskill Opportunity

I'm excited to share that I've been given an opportunity to attend the Reskill program through Microsoft.  It is a twelve-week program designed to train professionals from outside of the Business Central environment that have previous experience in other industries or specified skills; for instance, my background in accounting.  

I’m looking forward to being able to learn directly from the Microsoft team training about Business Central and the capabilities and benefits it has to offer businesses.  The program will provide hands-on experience with case studies of what a full implementation looks like and how to best serve the business’ ERP needs.  I'll be able to apply my training immediately in my current role as a functional consultant and begin helping clients right away within Business Central alongside my team.    

I anticipate the Reskill program will enable me to utilize the skills and experience I have and pair them with the training provided on Business Central.  Making it possible for me to best support the client effectively.  Additionally, giving me the tools to help others on the same journey now or in the future that want to become a functional consultant themselves. 

Some of the things I’m hoping to take away from the training is how to implement Business Central both out of the box and via conversion from another ERP.  I also hope to learn more about mapping a business and addressing their needs and requirements through the discovery process and what the discovery process looks like.  I want to learn project creation and how to account for changes that may arise during the process of implementation once the project has been scoped.  

I can’t wait to get started!
