Free Office 365 Training for the Workplace

While there have been higher Year 12 completion rates for Indigenous Australians and improvements in Indigenous university enrolment numbers over the past 10 years, Indigenous students remain underrepresented in higher education.

Indigenous Australians are also amongst the groups of Australians who have lower than average levels of digital literacy which, in turns, results in a lower than average ability to use digital technology. This impacts upon all areas of life, from the ability to use the Internet, to bank online, to communicate with others, to receive a quality education, and to gain and hold employment.

These problems are compounded by the current rate of technological advances and the impact this is having on the economy and the nature of work. Digital literacy is essential for all Australians and it is crucial to ensure that Indigenous Australians have equal opportunities to participate in education, employment, and economic and social life.

Furthermore, the ICT industry, which offers many opportunities for success, is not generally seen as a career of choice for young Indigenous people or a pathway to achievement in other sectors of the economy.

The course is designed with real world scenarios in mind and is delivered by industry experts provided by illuminance Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Partner. To maximise each student’s learning potential, the training is delivered through hands-on learning sessions and the number of participants is limited to 10.

At the end of this one-day course, participants will be able to effectively navigate Office 365 and make use of all of its features. Upon completion of the course, every participant receives a personalised certificate of participation.
