Program Overview

Microsoft Office Basics teaches Word and Excel while boosting people skills for success in the workplace. You will learn:

  • How to create a resume in Word
  • How to create a budget and write math formulas in Excel
  • How to join a meeting on Microsoft Teams
  • How feelings and actions impact your work performance
  • How to manage feelings and actions to get work done
  • How to show concern for the feelings of others at work

Our program is only ten days, and the learning happens online. There is an assignment due each day by 11:59 pm. Assignments are where you apply the skills you learn to small real-world projects. You can choose a time to meet online with coaches for help and support with all lessons and assignments. At the end, you will have created a resume template, a budget spreadsheet, a job search spreadsheet, and an on-the-job plan for dealing with workplace challenges.

You must be 18+ years old to register. You will need:

  • Computer or tablet with a webcam
  • Basic computer and internet skills
  • Internet service
  • 30-minutes to meet with a coach (strongly encouraged to meet two times each week)

We partner with PCs for People to connect eligible individuals to refurbished desktops, laptops, and internet service. They also participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program. Visit tnsi.pcsrefurbished.com to see devices and prices.
