Microsoft for Nonprofits LinkedIn account
Hi Risa_Coleman and Leslie_Robbins I was wondering who runs the Microsoft for Nonprofits LinkedIn account? We are launching a new Microsoft Power BI course for nonprofits and I was hoping to get some engagement from the team. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Matt Matt Burr | LinkedInPower BI course for Not-for-profits (Australian Eastern time zone)
Motive Consulting is excited to launch our new training course Power BI Beginner for Not-for-profits! Over the past few years, we have had the opportunity to create Power BI reports for a variety of not-for-profit organisations. During this time, we noticed a gap in training options available to NFPs, with most existing courses focusing on corporate themes such as sales and profit. Our new course bridges this gap by providing content designed specifically for NFPs. It draws on examples and datasets related to the Australian social service sector, ensuring the training is relevant and practical. As with all of our consulting and training services, we are offering discounted pricing for NFP organisations. Course highlights: 💡 No Power BI experience required 📑 Course manual and exercise files provided 🎓 Led by an experienced Microsoft Certified Trainer 💻 Delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams 🕒 Full day course from 9am to 4pm AEST Course dates: 📆 8 April 📆 21 May 📆 24 June ▶️ For more information, or to book now, visit: https://www.motiveconsulting.com.au/training-services/power-bi-beginner-not-for-profits You can also follow us on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/motive-consulting
