I want to be able to effectively run a computer and to have a
clerical career, hopefully in a job that is helping others.

Karen
Karen had spent a good part of her life as a stay at home mom while her kids were young. She had previously worked in a nursing home facility but found herself with the need to pursue other options as a result of arthritis and fibromyalgia. We enrolled Karen in our Office Assistant training program. Karen worked extensively on the following training components: Basic Math, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, Filing, Formatting, Record Keeping, Spelling, Keyboarding, Ten Key, and Telephone training. Not only did Karen obtain entry level computer and clerical skills necessary to transition into the workplace, but she also gained a lot of self-confidence. Karen’s drastic improvement in self-confidence served her well upon completion of her program. She interviewed for a 6 month Office Specialist position with the Oregon Youth Authority, and she was selected as the best candidate for the job. She began that position and has reported that she is "loving every moment." Karen has been told that this position may end up being a permanent, full-time opportunity. |
