How VNode delivers this

Who this is for, and how we run it

VNode ITeS delivers Accelerate AI-assisted development by using GitHub Copilot as an MCT-led Microsoft program for Developer. Typical duration is Applied skill assessment (Virtual, On-site, or Hybrid). Labs follow production-shaped scenarios rather than slide-only walkthroughs. Applied Skills delivery aims at a working artifact your team can take back, not a quiz score. Private cohorts can shift emphasis by role mix, workspace or repo constraints, and rollout timing.
