Business Skills Day Program
We offer a concentrated six-month tuition-free job training program aimed at giving women the skills essential to success in the workplace. All students who successfully receive their certificates are eligible for job placement assistance upon completion of the program.
The Business Skills Day Program begins each September and February.
The courses for this program include:
- Computers, featuring the Microsoft Office Suite
- Keyboarding

While learning Microsoft Office, students spend several hours each week in their computer class applying lessons practically: producing the kinds of documents found in all offices. In Business Writing class, students practice proofreading skills, study the basics of business writing, and produce their own letters and resumes. In Office Procedures class, students learn problem-solving skills, modes of communication, how to put together resumes, and how to handle job interviews with ease, among other skills. Business math class teaches the basic math needed to work with Excel and other concepts needed in an office environment. The Personal Finance section familiarizes students with basic concepts and necessities of handling finances.
