WILMINGTON, Del., July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ONLC Training, a leading
Microsoft Partner recognized for excellence in Data and AI
training, today announced the launch of its "ONLC Grant Program for
Aspiring AI Leaders." This innovative initiative aims to equip the
next generation of US-based students with essential Generative AI
skills, offering grants a combined value of $20,000.
In response to the need for AI professionals, ONLC is awarding
seven training grants valued at $3,000 each to students ranging from high school
juniors to college seniors. The program focuses on promoting AI
literacy and practical skills, with emphasis on Microsoft Copilot,
generative AI technologies, and Microsoft's Power
Platform.
Andy Williamson, Co-founder, CEO,
and Director of AI Strategy at ONLC, emphasized the program's
significance: "AI literacy is crucial for young adults. The next
generation will need to navigate and steer AI technology in the
right direction for the benefit of humanity. Our grant program aims
to facilitate this by providing access to high-quality AI
education."
The ONLC Grant Program for Aspiring AI Leaders offers a
comprehensive range of courses. Here is just a partial list of
classes:
- Copilot for Microsoft 365

These instructor-led classes are fully interactive, allowing
students to engage directly with professional trainers and
participate in real-time discussions. Courses are conveniently
scheduled on weekdays and can be attended remotely, eliminating the
need for travel or software installation.
ONLC's commitment to AI education is evident in its track
record, with over 15,000 enrollments in their free Copilot webinars
(https://www.onlc.com/copilot). This new grant program further
solidifies ONLC's position as a leader in AI and low-code
development training.
Eligibility for the program extends to US-based students who
demonstrate a passion for AI. While academic achievement is valued,
it is not the sole criterion for selection, allowing for a diverse
pool of talented applicants. The application process is open until
the end of July 2024.
"We believe that understanding AI and low-code development is
crucial for creating informed and capable citizens who can shape
the future of technology," added Williamson. "This program is our
