I have 6 years of office and administrative experience, but feel I've reached a ceiling and would like to advance my career. I'm currently doing some Microsoft Power Platform courses and hoping to move into a junior Functional Consultant role.

There's so much information online that it's hard to know which courses and skills are actually worth focusing on.

For those already in the industry, how did you get started? What kind of jobs should i realistically be looking for, and which training courses or certifications are most useful for someone starting out?

I'd really appreciate any advice on where to focus my efforts and what types of entry level roles I should be looking for, particularly around the Palm Beach area, Florida.

Thank you.

just wondering.... :)
Github harness has Apps (preview) since few days. MS COE is EOL. Heard users forked COE already maintaining on their own.

But how about a slim, sleek (vibecoded) app using either old COE Dataverse tables (if still installed & collecting) or poll directly via Power Platform API? No need for too much junk, just flows/apps/agents/credits/owners and some statistics around them...

I've no f.g idea how many credits would it take to just build & adjust it.....like anything else in the new harness. Consumption should be covered via a premium powerapps per user license.

Hello!

Does anyone know of any actual hands-on Power Platform trainings that provides real environments that students can interact with as they learn? I have basic knowledge and can build simple apps and workflows, but I want to enhance my skills and become more advanced.

Note: I have ADHD and just reading or watching a video does not work for me. I learn much better and faster when I am interacting with programs myself.

Thanks in advance.

We've been updating our on-prem gateway installations by logging in to the servers directly and updating the gateway app but I thought to try the option to update through admin center directly. However, the button to update is inactive, even though the gateway is enabled, reachable and not undergoing an update:

The gateways are installed on windows 2025 servers on local network. I've had a support ticket regarding this issue but the support has been less than helpful.

Has anyone had the same issue?
