Our take

For HR practitioners who know the job and want to apply generative AI to recruitment, onboarding, performance management and workforce planning. The hands-on labs with ChatGPT, Gemini and watsonx are the strongest part. It assumes HR knowledge, and while enrolment is free, the certificate is paid and the fee isn't shown. Budget about 40 hours. For a shorter, free starting point, try Empower your workforce with Microsoft Copilot from Microsoft.
