Project details

What we need
  • Customized Excel Training session(s) for up to 5 people over the course of 1-2 days
  • Sessions may be broken up into Beginner, Intermediate, and/or Advanced
  • Sample topics may include: formulas, commonly used functions, autofill, sorting and filtering, freezing, hiding, and grouping, formatting tips, keyboard shortcuts, pivot tables, charting and graphing, print readiness, collaborative work issues, and overall best practices
Additional details

One of our newer senior managers is in need of assistance growing her beginner skills to intermediate so she can best understand/read/interpret and develop reports to track financials and program outcomes.

What we have in place
  • We have a private room or workspace where the learner can be isolated to eliminate distractions during live, virtual session.
How this will help
This project will save us $908 , allowing us to support more individuals in families during housing crisis.

This project will help the manager grow her skills from beginner to intermediate so that she can best navigate Excel to track and improve program performance.
