Every Job Needs Computer Skills - We'll Make Sure You're Ready

Whether you’re applying for your first office job or your workplace is going digital, we understand that using computers can feel overwhelming. At Goodwill, we’ve designed a focused, in-person training program to help you learn the basic computer skills that employers expect today.

Our Basic Digital Skills Training Program teaches the essential computer skills you need in today’s workplace. Over one week, you’ll learn in a supportive classroom environment where no question is too basic.

Don’t let computer skills stand between you and your next job opportunity. Our experienced instructors and hands-on training will make sure you’re ready for today’s workplace.

What you'll learn:

  • Navigating computers: Logging in, using Windows 10, and mastering the mouse and keyboard
  • Microsoft Office basics, with a focus on Word for document creation and formatting
  • Organizing and managing files and folders
  • Using the internet safely and effectively in a work environment
  • Professional email communication and cybersecurity basics
  • Keyboarding practice to improve speed and accuracy (target: 35-40 WPM)

Hands-on learning:

Classes are offered at our Milgard Work Opportunity Center in Tacoma, with additional locations in Longview and Union Gap based on availability. With a small instructor-to-student ratio, you’ll receive the support you need to build confidence and succeed. Attendance is key, and upon completion, you’ll earn a Certificate of Completion to showcase your new skills to employers.
