As enterprises transition from experimental AI to autonomous, multi-agent systems that plan, reason, and execute complex workflows independently, the talent shortage for architects who can deliver scalable, production-ready solutions has become a critical bottleneck. This program combines Microsoft's AI technology leadership with Simplilearn's practical training model to close that gap through applied, hands-on learning.
Bridging the Agentic AI Talent Gap The curriculum progresses from foundational concepts to advanced implementation, emphasizing real-world deployment scenarios. Participants gain proficiency in agentic frameworks, multi-agent coordination, and secure orchestration on Microsoft Azure, ensuring systems are trustworthy, compliant, and aligned with business objectives. The capstone project challenges learners to build production-grade agents, while career support helps translate newly acquired skills into professional advancement.
Industry-Relevant Structure and Outcomes Led by industry practitioners and Microsoft Certified Trainers, the program delivers continuous guidance and peer interaction. Learners complete multiple projects and master tools across the agentic AI lifecycle, positioning them to lead enterprise transformations where AI agents drive independent action and measurable productivity gains.
"Agentic AI represents a significant shift in how organisations design intelligent systems, moving from static tools to autonomous agents capable of decision-making and execution. As enterprises scale these systems, the shortage of professionals who can architect and lead agentic AI initiatives has become increasingly evident. Through our work with Microsoft, this program combines hands-on learning with real-world deployment scenarios, enabling product and technology leaders to build practical expertise that directly supports enterprise transformation," said Kashyap Dalal, Co-founder and COO, Simplilearn.
"We are excited to work with Simplilearn to launch this program. As organizations accelerate the adoption of agentic AI, demand for talent combining technical expertise with system design, governance, and responsible AI practices continues to grow. Through this collaboration, we aim to support professionals in developing applied skills across agent orchestration, multi-agent systems, and enterprise deployment. Programs like Applied Agentic AI play an important role in preparing the workforce to build AI solutions that are scalable, trustworthy, and aligned with real business needs," said Geoff Hirsch, Head of Channel, Microsoft Global Skilling.
