Technology Literacy…Is Still a Very Important Skill Set in the Workplace!

An Excerpt from 7/13/14 TABRadio Broadcast

Technology & Computers for the Beginner/Novice User

"Since January of 2014, I have gone on a personal and professional quest to research the importance of technology literacy in the workplace...and it truly amazes me how individuals today still take for granted the importance and necessity of technology literacy skills in the workplace. I came across article after article about the importance of being computer literate in the workplace, the importance of basic computer skills and the importance of computers skills as an office professional.  Therefore I am re-focusing my training & consulting efforts to educate individuals on how to become more efficient, effective and productive users of technology with a strong focus on the Microsoft Office Suite applications.  After-all, how can you ignore this statistic….according to Microsoft, 1.1 billion people (or 1 in 7 people on the planet) use Microsoft Office.  Today’s broadcast will discuss how the very applications that sit on desktops at many places of work offer individuals more options and a greater ability to become successful employees in the workplace…the catch is enhance one’s technology skill sets, identify the issues and obstacles they face, and to begin integrating these new skills sets with the experience each individual possesses to minimize, if not, eliminate these obstacles.

I am starting with the workplace during this broadcast and I will discuss how to achieve e-squared-p at home, professionally, and academically on future broadcasts."

Customizing the Ribbon in Microsoft Excel

Did you recognize either of the two identified objects above?  If you haven’t taken an “E-squared-P” training class with Troy A. Burgher, then you probably will not recognize this awesome time saving feature.
This cool feature in the Microsoft Office 2010 and 2013 Application Suites allows for the creation of Custom Tabs and Groups on the Ribbon.

Why is Desktop Application Certification Important to You?

As a follow-up to our first webinar held in January, entitled "Using Technology to Build Human Capital", this webinar will explore one way in which you can begin building your human capital through the use of technology.

With the current economic woes and the staggering unemployment rates throughout the United States, we need to begin thinking about how to differentiate ourselves from the “competition” when it comes to seeking gainful employment and/or climbing the corporate ladder. We should familiarize ourselves with and embrace such terms as “Unique Selling Point (USP) “or “Differential Advantage (DA)”. These are terms that employers and human resource departments are asking potential employees to answer as part of a job interview. Here is your chance to provide them with at least one reason why you should be hired for the position – because you are Microsoft Office Certified!

Obtaining certification in any (or all) of the Microsoft Office Suite applications provides an individual with a great distinction from others when pursuing employment or seeking career advancement. Not only will an individual obtain valuable knowledge and skill sets, but the newly acquired skills no matter the industry, can be applied to one's current position or towards the application of a new position. The Microsoft Office Suite certification(s) is a global credential that can be used anywhere in the United States (or globally) and is recognized by employers as an indication of your knowledge and expertise in using Microsoft Office Suite applications.

Here is something to think about - it is estimated that more than 90% of all businesses use Microsoft Office in some business capacity; either as part of their daily business function or simply as a means to communicate with other businesses. Put Microsoft on Your Resume!
