It’s essential to have basic computer skills in order to find success in both education and employment. Here at Sinneave, we are passionate about providing practical, hands-on opportunities for skill-building so autistic & neurodivergent youth and adults can thrive in their everyday lives. Whether you’re heading back to school at the end of the summer or will be starting a new job, we’ve got you covered!

In this session, attendees will learn the basic computer skills every person needs to find success in education, employment and life.

Learn about the Microsoft Office suite of tools–primarily Word, Excel and PowerPoint–ask questions, and practice using the software, learning the basics of each tool and in what scenarios you might need to use each one.

*Because this is a hands-on session and participants require a computer with the necessary software, attendance is limited to in-person only.
