Our Trainees for Computer Appreciation will be taught uses made in general of computers across business and associated industries. General practical experience in using standard packages such as word processing, databases and spreadsheets Candidates should have an appreciation of how hardware/software is used and works, without detailed technical knowledge (e.g. Optical Character Reading – reflected laser light converted to binary signals – OCR recognition software needed to convert the bit-map image into words by comparison with stored patterns).
This Online Elective Course features an employment unit designed to help students explore their career interests, set career goals, analyze and develop their workplace skills, complete online employment applications, develop interviewing techniques, prepare resumes and other employment documents useful in assembling a career portfolio.
