From another "all-in with AI" educator (in large part because I can't see the tides reversing), I totally agree with your concerns and call to action. I gave a conference paper a few months ago to university educators relating to the impending skills gap and unemployment crisis, especially for recent graduates. With the rise of "reasoning" and "agentic" AI, more knowledge workers will become AI managers and will require technical knowledge about AI use that will include traditional managerial skills sets (organization, planning, communication, etc). In a Microsoft study a f ew months ago, they called this new worker paradigm the "agent boss". Now, corporate wishful self-fulfilling propecies aside (MS stands to gain a lot from agent bosses using their agents and servers), I think they are pointing to an important skill in the skill gap.
Copilot agents and administering them across M365 data estate? Have you heard or know any courses or certs geared towards 'agent boss?' Prepping for power platform cert as well as AI 900 atm. Curious if agent boss training or certs are available :)

AI agent supervision is going to be an important job skill in the future, I think. Thanks!
