Microsoft training: Microsoft Planner

SCVO have partnered with Microsoft to offer free training sessions for any organisation in the voluntary sector. The training sessions run online every other Wednesday afternoon from 2 – 3pm, starting on Wednesday 16 February.  

This course introduces Microsoft Planner. Planner allows teams to work together effortlessly by organizing your projects visually in an easy to use application that works seamlessly across all your devices.

If you attend a free Microsoft training session, you agree to share your contact details with them so that they can administrate the training, including sending a brief followup survey. The sessions are recorded and recordings will be shared with people who attended the session.
