Microsoft Teams training sessions available

Next week, we kick off a series of bite-sized online training sessions on a range of Microsoft Teams related topics.

You are probably already using Teams to chat, meet and collaborate, as well as share documents and files. Teams is a great way for us all to keep in touch and stay connected, especially as most of us continue to work from home.

You can choose to join one of three different workshops depending on your level of knowledge – details below.
