Computer Skills for the Workplace – Online

Most jobs today require a working knowledge of certain computer skills. Employers seek and reward employees with the skills and knowledge to send messages across the country via e-mail; use a spreadsheet to create a graph and paste it into a report; add and edit data in a database; understand the implications of file sizes, memory limitations, and network arrangements; and recognize the function and features of modern computer components. Any job candidate who already possesses these skills will stand above those who do not.

Learning Objectives:

• Maximize use of operating-system features to improve work performance.
• Create, edit, save, and print word-processor documents and spreadsheets.
• Use advanced word-processor functions to create workplace documents.
• Use e-mail to increase work effectiveness.
• Use databases in the workplace.

• Implement effective data-storage techniques.
