# ⚡ What to expect at the Microsoft Learning Hub ⚡
Microsoft Learning Hub is the place to get started for anyone - could be a student, a professional developer, or someone who is looking for a career change. Our learning hub has two tracks, one focussing on Community and the other on Skilling. The Community room is the place to hear dialogues/discussions by the Community Leaders on both tech and non-tech. The Skilling room is where you can skill-up your Cloud, Python, AI, and Machine Learning knowledge. Check out our detailed agenda for both days below!
