Microsoft Training Program
Northeastern Employees Embrace After-Hours Computer Training

Northeastern employees who are interested in learning and mastering Microsoft computer applications software are now able to do so at no cost through a special after-hours Microsoft training program being offered by Northeastern Supply.

“The program is available to all Northeastern employees,” shares Darlene Alban, Administrative Assistant. “Employees can sign up for classes in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Access, and Windows 98 - whatever they would like. The classes are being taughŠ by trainers from Answer Quest Technologies Inc. and are limited to 12 employees per session, which consists of three two-hour classes.”

“The response has been phenomenal,” shares Darlene. “The staff has been excited about this opportunity and are very willing to use their personal time to improve their computer skills.”

Darlene reports that in just three months, more than 63 employees have participated in this program and the enrollment is continuing to grow. Each class begins at 4:30 p.m. and runs until 6:30 p.m. In addition to the training, employees also enjoy a light dinner.

“Being computer literate is essential to remain competitive in the workplace,” notes Darlene. “We are very pleased that our employees are willingly investing their time and are learning ways to more efficiently handle business here at Northeastern. It helps the employees, it helps the company, and it helps our customers. It’s a win-win-win situation.”
