TABTC initiates a "Human Capital Development Movement"

TAB Training & Consulting (TABTC) is planning its "Human Capital Development Movement" by using computer literacy as a tool for self-sufficiency and social change within socially and economically challenged communities. As this is not a 'new' business concept, we have found a unique way of separating ourselves from the competition.

Our training services have always and will continue to be designed to provide individuals with immediate benefits, that are easy to use and retain, yet convenient enough so as not to disturb the busy daily routines of our customers.

All of our services include a high-level of customer service and support that most businesses substitute for bottom-line sales and increased market share. Our services are project-based and allow individuals to quickly implement the knowledge learned and gained to have an immediate impact on their daily lives.


So, stay tuned in by visiting our web site - http://www.tabtraining.com/, as more information about OUR MOVEMENT is unveiled.

Embrace Technology - NOW!

It is time to embrace technology as a professional tool…as much as we have embraced it as a social tool!

Even though, on average, only 15-20% of any Microsoft Office application is used in the workforce, why are people still hesitant to learn or use more than what they do? We seemed to have become a nation of people that are willing to do only the status quo to keep our jobs (aka paychecks), even during the current recession, yet we complain that we don't make enough money or "wish" we could get "THE" job that pays more…Shouldn't we be preparing ourselves for when the economy bounces back by increasing our knowledge of the industry for which we work...and dedicate ourselves to learn the "technology" skills to acquire a better-paying job whether at the same company or elsewhere. At minimum we should increase our knowledge of technology beyond social networking, emailing, and chatting using our cell phones and laptops...they really are designed and built to do so much more.

Gone are the days of indicating on our resume that we are "proficient" in using Microsoft Word...but are unable to keep our own resumes updated without the assistance of someone else...So are the days of stating on our resume that we are "knowledgeable" in using Microsoft Excel...but are unable to balance our checkbook or home budget and complain there isn't enough money available or overdraft our banking accounts. Calculators and typewriters, what are those things you say (LOL), are old "tools" like libraries and snail-mail. Don't get me wrong libraries are still an important institution and snail-mail has its importance as well...BUT! Time to "step" up your GAME!

As a trainer of 16+ years, with experience teaching within both the corporate and community-based (inner-city) environments, I have come across such individuals on a regular basis, and my only advice is this…Prepare for the day that a job ad reads "MOS Certification ONLY"...you can start preparing now by contacting TAB Training & Consulting at (704) 303 9094 or by visiting our website www.tabtraining.com to request a FREE virtual consultation so we can assist you with assessing and meeting your specific technology training needs.

Are You Looking for Tips to Enhance Your Job Search Experience?

If so, then attend the first of several workshops under our Webinar Workshop B-Series on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 (from 7:00-8:30 PM). In prior webinars we discussed the importance of technology as a tool for personal enhancement and development, often referred to as building "human capital."

The Webinar Workshop B-Series focuses on how technology can assist with obtaining a job that requires entry-level technology-based skills sets, changing careers or achieving success by climbing the corporate ladder. This particular workshop explores the basics of desktop application, focusing on the Microsoft Office Suite, and the software that is commonly used in today's workforce.

This webinar discusses the advantages of using Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint during the job search process and how learning the basics of these three programs can enhance such an experience. The knowledge gained begins to serve as the foundation for pursuing a Microsoft Business Certification in one or all of the programs discussed. Learn more about these certifications during the webinar.
