Teams rolling out Microsoft 365 Copilot
You have licences, or plan to buy them, and want people to use Copilot in their real work instead of trying it once.
Copilot and ChatGPT workshops for your teams
Sengo runs hands-on workshops that teach company teams to use Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT in their daily work. People practise on tasks drawn from their own work, learn to check what the AI gives back, and leave knowing your rules on data and acceptable use.
Workshops come as half-day sessions or multi-session cohorts, on site or remote, and each one is adapted to your team's needs.
Who the workshops are for
Teams at any stage of AI adoption, from a first Copilot rollout to daily ChatGPT use without shared rules.
Teams already using ChatGPT
Some people use it every day, others never. A workshop gives everyone the same baseline and the same rules on what data can go in.
Managers and leadership
Leaders who need to understand what AI can and cannot do before they set priorities, budgets or policies.
What a workshop covers
Using Copilot inside the Microsoft 365 apps your teams already work in
Using ChatGPT for everyday tasks such as drafting, summarizing and analysis
Writing prompts that get useful answers, with examples from your own work
Checking AI output for errors, gaps and made-up facts before anyone relies on it
What data can and cannot go into each tool, under your policies
Choosing your team's first use cases, and spotting where AI does not help
Workshop formats
Every workshop is adapted to your team's needs. Pick the format that fits how your people work.
Half-day sessions
A focused session on one tool or on one team's tasks. A good way to start.
Multi-session cohorts
A group follows several sessions, practises in between and brings back questions from real work.
On site
We run the workshop at your offices, with your teams in the room.
Remote
Live online sessions for distributed or hybrid teams.
AI training for charities and community organizations
If your organization uses Microsoft 365, your staff may already have Copilot Chat. Microsoft decides which organizations qualify for its nonprofit offers and what those offers include. This is what Microsoft's pages said when we checked them on November 4, 2026. Sengo does not sell, license or bill Microsoft products. We train the people who use them.
What Microsoft already provides
Copilot Chat, Microsoft's AI chat for work, is included in Microsoft 365 subscriptions at no extra charge.
Eligible nonprofits can get Microsoft 365 Business Basic as a grant for up to 300 users, and it includes Copilot Chat. Granted licences are for paid staff and unpaid executives, such as board members and the executive director. General volunteers are not covered by the grant.
The paid Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on is offered to eligible nonprofits at a 15% discount.

Who qualifies
Microsoft sets eligibility, not Sengo. An organization needs recognized charitable status in its country. Some types are excluded even when they are nonprofits, including professional and trade associations, schools, government bodies and groups whose work focuses on influencing public policy.
Microsoft can change these rules at any time, so check its pages before you apply.

What the licences do not cover
A licence gives people access to the tool. It does not teach staff to use it on their real tasks, set your rules on what can go into it, or build safe habits with personal information about the people you serve.
It also does not tell you where AI is worth using in your organization, and where it is not.
How a Sengo workshop fits
The workshop starts from the tools your organization already has, such as Copilot Chat in Microsoft 365, and uses tasks from your own work. People learn to check what the AI gives back and leave knowing your rules on data.
The formats are the same as for any team: a half-day session or a multi-session cohort, on site or remote, in French or English. Quebec non-profits can also look at the Services Québec program in the funding section further down this page.

Quebec funding for AI training
Some Quebec programs can pay part of a team's training costs. This is what the official pages said when we checked them on November 2, 2026. Each program decides who qualifies and how much it pays. Sengo does not run these programs, and listing them here does not mean Sengo is a recognized provider under any of them.
Workforce training program (Services Québec)
Quebec employers, including private companies, cooperatives and non-profits, can ask Services Québec for help to define training needs, run a training project and assess the results. Expenses that may qualify include needs analysis and trainer fees. A business advisor reviews each file and sets the amount based on the project, the company's needs and the budget available.

Calls for projects (CPMT)
The Commission des partenaires du marché du travail funds training through calls for projects. A collective promoter, such as an employer association or a sectoral workforce committee, submits the project, which must serve workers from at least two companies. A company does not apply on its own.
The CPMT call dedicated to AI training, Formation en IA pour des entreprises innovantes et agiles, closed on June 1, 2026. The Économie verte et transformation numérique call, for training linked to companies' digital transformation, was listed as open until funds run out.

Questions about AI training for teams
Do you train teams on Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT?
Yes. Sengo runs hands-on workshops on both. Participants work in the tools during the session, on tasks drawn from their own work, rather than watching a demo.
How is this different from free Copilot training from Microsoft?
Microsoft publishes free self-serve material, such as its Copilot adoption resources and Microsoft Learn. That material covers the product in general. A Sengo workshop is built around your team's tasks, your tools and your rules on data and acceptable use, and it covers ChatGPT as well.
Can a workshop focus on one department, such as finance, HR or legal?
Yes. Each workshop is adapted to the team's needs, so the examples and exercises come from that department's work.
Do participants need AI experience?
No. We set the starting point with you before the workshop, based on who will attend.
Is our data ready for Copilot?
Copilot works within the permissions people already have, so content shared too widely in SharePoint can show up in its answers. Our Copilot in SharePoint readiness page explains what to check before a rollout. If you buy Copilot Business through a CSP partner, the same page covers the December 1, 2026 change to Copilot Credits billing.
Can AI training for a team be funded in Quebec?
Sometimes. Services Québec's workforce training program and some CPMT calls for projects can cover part of training costs. Each program decides eligibility and amounts, and Sengo plays no part in that decision. The funding section above lists the sources and the dates we checked them.
Does a charity or community organization need to buy Copilot before a workshop?
No. Copilot Chat is included in Microsoft 365 subscriptions, including the Business Basic grant Microsoft offers eligible nonprofits, and a workshop can start from there. Microsoft decides who qualifies for its nonprofit offers, and Sengo does not sell or bill Microsoft licences. The section for charities and community organizations above lists the sources and the date we checked them.
How do we get started?
Book a discovery call. We talk about your teams, the tools you use and the format that fits, then propose a workshop plan.
