Learn to use this popular computer program for your job search or career exploration.

Microsoft Excel is a useful spreadsheet program that allows you to enter numbers or information into the rows or columns of a spreadsheet. These entries can be used for making calculations of difficult formulas easy, graphs, and statistical analysis.

While learning the basics of Microsoft Excel, learners gain from creating spreadsheets such as a Job Search Log in order to keep track of the positions they apply for (can also be used as a reporting tool). Other learners may discover a love for working with numbers and spreadsheets which may lead them to further education in fields such as Bookkeeping and Accounting. Topics include:

• Computer Basics Review
• Features & Activities
• Spreadsheet Development
• Saving Files
• Links to Community Resources

The next session starts November 13, 2017.  Class runs Monday to Thursday 1-4 PM for 5 weeks.  Call 613-932-7161 for more information or to register.  Space is limited.
