SUMMARY:2026 Cohort: Welcome - Live-Virtual Certification Program
DESCRIPTION:Powering Minnesota’s Diverse Tech Workforce\nTechFluent scales industry-leading technology training\, mentorship and employment programs to offer virtual and self-study services to 25 individuals in Minnesota and 10 from across the US. Focused on under-represented groups across the the country\, also described as adults in underserved communities who are eligible to work in the United States\, 18 years of age or older at the time of enrollment who are not enrolled in any K-12 school\, who are seeking employment\, and are at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or who are an individual of color or a woman. At TechFluent we believe everyone should benefit from Work Readiness\, Credentialed Training.  \nIt is our mission to remove barriers that prevent our fellow citizens from participating in the data-tech economy. We deliver comprehensive\, comprehensible training that does not assume prior technical competencies. We believe that anyone can master the required skills\, regardless of age\, cultural background\, or prior work experience. Thus far\, our Program Participants have enrolled as Learners with at least some college or work experience in their background\, rather than students fresh out of high school. This isn’t to say that a recent high school graduate cannot be successful in our Program\, we simply do not have Key Performance Indicators to inform that result. Our program\, to date\, has trained 200+ participants in a variety of products that are part of the Microsoft technological stack. In 2024 we placed 60% of our graduates in roles appropriate to the training we provided. In 2025\, we placed 11% of our graduates\, however\, the Industry and the American economy in general has been in incredible flux. We are working fervently to overcome these hiring hurdles by partnering with a variety of Hiring Organizations and Placement Agencies to help us find opportunities for all of our graduates and active students. \nWe specialize in the Microsoft technology stack and the focus of this program will be data analytics which includes Microsoft 365 and the Power Platform\, with an emphasis on Power BI. \nCredentials to be awarded \nPL-900 Power Platform Fundamentals \nPL-300 Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst \nPL-200 Microsoft Power Platform Functional Consultant \nApproaches to Learning \nTechFluent has curated a curriculum offering courses through every method of teaching style – self-paced and live-virtual\, all supported by a Learning Leader providing technical support and facilitating Trainer Assistant collaboration as needed. \nSelf-Paced Classes through LinkedIn Learning \nOur partnership with LinkedIn Learning offers comprehensive self-paced learning paths\, utilizing their extensive library of online courses. This collaboration enriches our participants’ learning journey by providing access to high-quality educational content that aligns with industry standards and emerging trends. Each learner will receive a license and be required to complete the specified courses listed below. Additionally\, the full LinkedIn Learning catalog will be available to them throughout the duration of the program\, ensuring they have access to a wide range of resources to support their learning and professional development. \nLive-Virtual Classes through TechFluent Volunteer Program \nLive-Virtual trainers are provided through our extensive partnership with Microsoft Industry Consulting Partners and MVPs. Most are generously donating their time and expertise to deliver material they have developed and refined throughout their career\, or which has been donated to TechFluent by a Leading Educator in the Industry. Occasionally\, we may need to compensate a Trainer to guarantee a date\, and in these cases\, these Professionals are often receiving an honorarium well below their standard consulting rate. \nProgram Leader On-Virtual Calls \nTo augment the virtual learning portion of the Curriculum we will staff a Program Leader on each call with the Participants throughout the entire Program. This Program Leader will not generally be able to answer the technical questions\, but more importantly\, will facilitate the Trainer Assistants and Office Hours Support Volunteers providing virtual technical collaboration with the Participants to ensure fluid and full support. \nAgenda: \nMeet the Board President \n \nMeet the Executive Director  \n \nMeet our Cohort Ambassadors \n \nHear from a Successful Graduate
