AI capability is now essential across all areas of government—from policy development and briefings through to constituent communication and operational efficiency. As part of Microsoft’s ongoing Start Smart initiative, we are providing access to specialised training designed to build capability and confidence in applying AI in government contexts. This initiative empowers Ministerial staff to work more efficiently, support informed decision‑making, and enhance service delivery. 

​

These instructor‑led sessions, delivered by Microsoft Training Partner, Akkodis Academy, provides Ministerial Offices with a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft Copilot and its practical applications in government environments. 

​

By attending this training series, you’ll discover how AI can help you: 

• Draft briefs, speeches, emails, and media responses 

• Summarise reports, legislation, and consultations 

• Prepare meeting packs and Q&A notes 

• Manage correspondence and constituent inquiries 

• Generate talking points and policy summaries and more!
