Technology Skill Building provides learners with progressive training in Microsoft Excel, one of the most widely used tools in modern manufacturing and business operations. Through a structured three-course sequence — Introduction to Microsoft Excel (Level 1), Applications of Microsoft Excel (Level 2), and Excelling with Microsoft Excel (Level 3) — participants build from foundational spreadsheet skills to advanced data analysis, automation, and productivity techniques. Learners start with formatting, formulas, and navigation, then move on to functions, PivotTables, lookup tools, and data visualization. The final course introduces advanced tools such as macros, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), what-if analysis, and importing/exporting data from multiple sources.

By the end of this series, students are fully equipped to manage complex workbooks, automate repetitive tasks, and perform high-level data analysis with confidence and efficiency. Whether organizing production schedules, analyzing quality data, or generating insightful reports, graduates will have practical Excel expertise that is immediately applicable to manufacturing, logistics, finance, and administrative roles. The hands-on approach, paired with real-world exercises and expert instruction, ensures that learners walk away with skills that directly enhance workplace productivity and decision-making.
