Technical Trainings

About the Spring Technical Workshop Series

Our Spring Technical Workshop Series features five lessons: two Excel, one VBA, and two R. Each workshop will be accompanied by an interactive worksheet to follow along with the lesson and will be followed by some homework to help apply the concepts learned in the workshop. The series will end with a final project used to demonstrate all the skills learned over the course of the training. Completion of each lesson worksheet, homework, and final project will result in proficient skills in excel, VBA, and R. Additionally, completion of the training will be advertised in the resume book to showcase the skills acquired throughout the program to recruiters. ​
