Are you taking advantage of all your educational op portunities? Many of our students took advantage of the opportunity to continue their computer studies through the end of June.  The computer lab was full of students yesterday, the first day of the Spring Extension term. Thirteen new students attended the evening New Student Orientation. Over twenty students attended the Windows 7 workshop last night, taught by one of our very popular Instructors, Rafael Barragan.  These workshops are taught by Instructors in the morning at 10:30 a.m. and in the evening at 7:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday through June 27th.  All students are welcome to attend these workshops – no registration is needed. You only need to be registered for a course in our computer lab.

The “Student Spotlight” is on Claudia Luna

Claudia Luna

Congratulations Claudia on your most recent accomplishment of achieving a  General Office Clerk State Approved Certificate.

Claudia completed all her classes in the certificate and has started classes for the Executive  Secretary/Administrative Assistant Certificate in 11 months.

She did all of her classes in the self paced lab.  She said that her advice to other students is to “stay focused on what you are studying and don’t get distracted by talking too much and taking a lot of breaks.”

Congratulations again Claudia!

General Office Clerk Certificate: This series of courses prepares students for entry-level general office clerk positions in a business environment.  This program provides an open-entry/open-exit instructional format that allows students to attain knowledge of basic level office concepts, procedures, and technology commonly used in an office setting.  Students learn introduction to keyboarding, computer software applications, general office skills, customer service and telephone techniques, and soft skills.  This certificate provides the foundation for preparing students in entry level jobs and careers in the business environment.
