COMPUTER TRAINING
Learn how to use basic Microsoft Office products such as Microsoft Word (basic and advanced) and Excel as you improve your job skills for employment/better employment. We also offer an “Introduction to the Computer” for those individuals unfamiliar with basic computer usage.
Classes are offered in 3 different formats to meet the learning needs and schedules of participants:
Instructor-driven Classes
Scheduled during the week, daytime and early evening; classes available at Goodwill® and elsewhere by special arrangements. At present, these classes are offered on Monday and Friday mornings, 10:00 a.m. - noon and Tuesday evenings - 6:00-8:00 p.m. - all at our Frederick Church Street location. In Westminster, we offer the same courses on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and afternoons at our computer lab in Carroll County.
Self-paced Classes
Tutorials are also available to meet the needs of those who may not be able to attend classroom instruction – contact the Training Manager for additional information.
Online Classes
As students progress through our basic curriculum, instructors can recommend additional trainings that are available online.
This Goodwill® program also partners with other non profit organizations and with employers engaged in similar work-readiness missions throughout the Frederick and Carroll County areas to offer customized trainings onsite at workplaces, other training centers and computer laboratories.
