Winpisinger Center to Offer Basic Training for Word and Excel in June

IAM representatives use Microsoft Word and Excel to help us do our jobs. While many have extensive working knowledge of these programs, others have limited, or no, experience with these programs. There are tips and shortcuts that can help complete work faster and devote more time to advocating for members directly.

With this in mind, the William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center is conducting virtual basic Word and Excel trainings in June.

Word trainings will cover creating automatic populating tables of contents, headers and footers, page numbers and more. Excel trainings will cover the very basics of Excel, focusing on those who have little to no working knowledge of the program. Both classes will cover basic keyboard shortcuts that make using these and many other programs easier.

More advanced classes will follow, which will give us the tools to bargain the best contracts for our members.
