Tapo Digital

Tapo Digital was hired by Microsoft to increase certification momentum and inspire female and non-binary students in Australia and New Zealand to explore careers in technology. The project aimed to equip participants with job-ready technical skills, provide access to industry role models, and strengthen the early-talent pipeline for Microsoft and strategic partners. Tapo Digital was chosen due to their high ratings, geographic proximity, budget fit, and alignment with company values. A team of 6-10 employees was assigned to the project, which involved the planning and execution of a three-day Microsoft Codess hybrid event. This event included hands-on labs, office tours, Q&A panels, fireside chats, and one-on-one mentorship.

The project was a success, with over 200 participants registering for the PL-900 or AI-900 certification exams within six months. The Codess event inspired and empowered over 600 female and non-binary tertiary students to explore careers in technology. Tapo Digital's work was instrumental in providing participants with job-ready technical skills and direct access to industry role models. The project also successfully strengthened the early-talent pipeline for Microsoft and its strategic partners, showcasing graduate and internship pathways during a Partner Careers Fair and follow-up mentoring. The project's success is a testament to Tapo Digital's commitment to delivering high-quality, impactful digital solutions.
