Microsoft PowerPoint - Intermediate

Project-based PowerPoint training built around one real deliverable: a 15-slide executive briefing on the AI economy. Using real investment, GDP and jobs figures from PwC, Stanford HAI, the IMF and the World Economic Forum, you will design a themed deck, build charts and tables that tell a clear story, add a process diagram, animate it professionally, then rehearse and export it as a video - the exact workflow used for board and investor presentations.
