INTRODUCTION TO OFFICE TECHNOLOGY
The Introduction to Office Technology Program is designed to provide the basic
skills instruction required for an entry-level position as an employee in today’s
office. Learners will move at their own pace, while developing key competencies. The
materials have been developed specifically for the adult or young adult learner,
who will see direct applications for the instruction in a real-world working
environment.
The curriculum is divided into four chapters that thoroughly cover technology
in the modern office from information systems to skills in information transfer. Given
a series of practice and scored questions, the learner will identify the definitions
of all key terms and practice common tasks required for office workers. Number
of Lessons: 43. Estimated Course Length: 20-25 hours.
