Microsoft has announced the “Power Up Program” that “enables non-tech professionals to successfully advance into a new career path in low-code application development using Microsoft Power Platform.”

This is a free program that is available worldwide and takes just about 3 months of training.

This program is a big deal for those seeking new global/remote opportunities. By 2025, 70% of new applications developed by enterprises will use low-code or no-code technologies, up from less than 25% in 2020 according to Gartner’s report.
