he vast majority of low-income youth and young adults do not possess the skills necessary to be technologically savvy in the workplace. Urban Ed's TechnoOffice program is designed to give them the advanced skills needed to be proficient in a professional work environment where technology knowledge is important to performance.

The TechnoOffice covers approximately 4-8 weeks on each subject aimed at getting our participants ready to use the Microsoft Vista operating system and the Microsoft Office 2007 suite.

Urban Ed utilizes actual test simulations and case studies to deliver the learning under this program. Participants gain first hand experience with each critical aspect of each major subject area which includes:

  • Microsoft Word 2007
  • Microsoft Excel 2007
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2007
  • Microsoft Outlook 2007

Similar to the TechnoForce program, the TechnoOffice program comprises several major components that include:

  • Professional Development - Special skills workshops in Resume Development for IT jobs, Internet Research for IT, Hands-on Job Performance Clinics, Job Coaching and Surviving Technical Interviews.
  • Advanced Tech Skills- Advanced Technology Training in the latest Microsoft Office applications
  • Work Experience- Working on live workplace projects or re-created case studies
