Popular Microsoft programs are subject of VGCC course

A Vance-Granville Community College night course begins soon on the college’s main campus in Vance County, offering area residents a chance to brush up on two computer programs that are indispensable in office settings.

Laura Peace, coordinator of VGCC’s Occupational Extension Computer Center , is the instructor for a course on the Microsoft Word and Excel 2007 software. Classes are scheduled for Thursdays from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., April 1 through May 13. Students will familiarize themselves with the popular word processing and spreadsheet programs, which were extensively revamped in their most recent versions. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel are two of the most widely used software programs in the workforce today. Knowledge of these programs is frequently listed as a requirement in job postings for applicants.
