Excel Training

Project details

What we need
  • Customized Excel Training session(s) for up to 5 people over the course of 1-2 days
  • Sessions may be broken up into Beginner, Intermediate, and/or Advanced
  • Sample topics may include: formulas, commonly used functions, autofill, sorting and filtering, freezing, hiding, and grouping, formatting tips, keyboard shortcuts, pivot tables, charting and graphing, print readiness, collaborative work issues, and overall best practices
Additional details

I'm interested in bringing my understanding and use of Excel to the next level. I am a beginner. I would like to know commonly used functions, some formatting tips, how to work collaboratively, and some best practices.

What we have in place
  • We currently have Excel, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have my laptop, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,174 , allowing us to work more efficiently and act on more ways to make Michigan's youth justice system fair and effective for children, youth, and young adults.

This project is important because I do a lot of administrative tasks that are meant to keep my team organized. I'd like to be able to use Excel to enhance all of our work and not have it be a barrier to getting things done efficiently.

Our mission

The Michigan Center for Youth Justice (MCYJ) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing policies and practices that reduce confinement and support trauma-informed, racially equitable, socio-economically and culturally responsive, community-based solutions for Michigan's justice-involved children, youth and young adults.

What we do

MCYJ seeks to improve youth justice services from the point of first contact with the police through reentry from incarceration, using a trauma-informed lens. Through research, collaboration, and advocacy-oriented strategies, we work to shape public policy and educate justice system stakeholders.
