Overview

GitHub Copilot Hack2Skill is a modular, workshop-style enablement offering organized around GitHub's sales plays. Each engagement is tailored to the audience's role and experience level, with practical challenges that connect Copilot usage to a customer outcome.

Sales plays

Hack2Skill can be delivered through any of the following sales-play tracks:

  • Innovate: Build confidence with AI-assisted workflows and establish repeatable, governed Copilot adoption.
  • Scale: Standardize Copilot practices across teams and connect adoption to GitHub's broader software delivery platform.
  • Trust: Use Copilot with secure, reviewable, and responsible working practices that protect quality and enterprise control.

The selected sales play is agreed during qualification and determines the examples, exercises, success measures, and follow-up plan.

Personas and levels

  • Developers: Beginner foundations or advanced workflows for coding, testing, documentation, and review.
  • Knowledge workers: Beginner foundations or advanced workflows for drafting, summarizing, researching, and transforming work content.
  • IT admins: Beginner foundations or advanced workflows for enablement, governance, configuration, and adoption support.

Sample agendas

Both formats use the same learning model: participants follow the trainer during the first half, then apply and combine the skills to build something relevant to their role during the second half.
