Digital Literacy Classes Help Everyone Work with Computers!
The Private Industry Council of Westmoreland/Fayette, Inc. has been offering Free Digital Literacy Workshops to Fayette county residents and Westmoreland County residents since 2021.
Digital Literacy Classes are available to anyone with or without computer experience. The beginner skills track is 10 weeks in length. Workshops are offered once a week for four hours with the opportunity to use the computer lab during scheduled lab hours. This is a great way for employers to improve the skills of their employees or for you to improve your own personal skills for the workplace or personal life!
The workshop will cover areas such as: Basic Computer Skills, Digital Citizenship Skills, Digital Navigation Skills and Digital Job Seeking Skills which includes Online Job Search, Intro to Social Media, Internet Key Topics, Email 101, and also covers business applications including Microsoft WORD, EXCEL, ZOOM and Google Workspace. This year will also include 5 intermediate level courses on Microsoft WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, Adobe Pro, and Gmail.
Shujuane Martin, CEO and President of the Private Industry Council says, “This is a great opportunity for anyone who is not quite sure of themselves when using a computer, tablet or smart phone to learn how to job search and apply for jobs so they can compete in a digital world”.
These workshops are made possible by a grant from the PA Department of Labor, Bureau of Workforce Development Administration.
