Landing a job in an office environment often requires at the very least a modest knowledge of computers. To increase your chance of finding work in an office setting, Goodwill offers basic computer training through our Pre-Vocational Computer Training Program. In this class you'll gain a general overview of Microsoft Office programs. The one-week program covers:

• Word
• Excel
• Powerpoint
• Outlook
• Internet Explorer

To sign up, simply call 615-346-1249 or email us.  If you are interested in more in-depth training for Microsoft Office, you can sign up for Goodwill's three month Basic Computer class which costs $1,450 for non-Goodwill clients.

Basic Computer Class

In this 10-12 week class, a Microsoft certified trainer will introduce you to the basics of computer software and hardware. When you complete this program you'll have the skills needed for an entry-level clerical or data-entry position with a goal of typing 35-40 words per minute.

Microsoft programs taught include:

• Word
• Excel
• PowerPoint
• Access
• Internet Explorer
• Outlook (email)

We provide on-going options for enrolling and class curriculum.  The class is offered through modules so students may enroll within two weeks of gaining appropriate funding, usually through a government agency. A study guide is included in the cost of the training modules.
