Microsoft Excel Training Series for Employees

SUNY Niagara is pleased to offer a Microsoft Excel Training Series designed to help employees strengthen their Excel skills and build confidence using one of the most widely used workplace tools. Many employees have expressed interest in expanding their Excel knowledge, and this series was created in response to that need.

This training series was developed in partnership with the Workforce Development department and will be facilitated by Wendy Warchocki, who brings extensive experience in Excel and workplace training. We are excited to welcome Wendy back to campus to lead this professional development opportunity.

The training will consist of 10 one-hour sessions held weekly on Wednesdays from 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m., beginning April 8 and running through June 10. Employees are welcome to attend the sessions that best fit their skill level or interests.  This series is intended to be practical and interactive, providing employees with skills they can immediately apply to their daily work.

Location: Classroom D108
These sessions are designed to be hands-on, and participants will complete practical exercises on a computer during the training. For the best learning experience, in-person attendance is strongly encouraged.

For those who are unable to attend in person, the training will also be available virtually via Microsoft Teams.
