CT - Basic Computer Skills:

This course provides basic computer skills training to familiarize new computer users with the computer as a business productivity tool. As we help Alberta's labour force develop marketable and productive labour market skills, we recognize two prevalent labor market tendencies: that employers demonstrate a propensity to replace humans in repetitive industrial tasks with computers and computerized machines and that the labour market requires employment candidates to communicate their skills through electronic means. Entry level workers who demonstrate basic computing abilities have enhanced access to (and are valued within) this marketplace.
