The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) organized a training-workshop on enhancing document processing skills using Microsoft Word for learners of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) on Friday, October 24.
The training aimed to equip ALS learners with essential digital literacy skills, focusing on the efficient use of MS Word for academic and professional document creation. The activity formed part of the BSCS department’s extension program, promoting community engagement and inclusive access to technology education.
During the hands-on sessions, participants learned key features of Microsoft Word, including text formatting, layout design, table creation, and the use of templates for reports and resumes. The facilitators also introduced techniques for proofreading, inserting graphics, and utilizing Word’s accessibility tools.
Dr. Jelly L. Paredes, BSCS program coordinator, emphasized the importance of such initiatives:
“This workshop is more than just learning software- it’s about empowering our ALS learners to become confident and capable users of technology in their future careers,” she said.
Participants expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to learn new skills that would help them in both academic and workplace settings.
The event concluded with the awarding of certificates to the ALS learners, symbolizing their commitment to lifelong learning and community partnership.
Through this outreach activity, the BS Computer Science program continues to uphold its mission of fostering digital empowerment and social responsibility among students and community members alike.
