LEWISTON — The Lewiston CareerCenter will host an orientation about an Office Certificate with Customer Service Specialty class at noon Tuesday, Feb. 21, at its 5 Mollison Way office.
Lewiston Adult Education will start the class on March 13, but requires students to attend the orientation and take a CASAS test. The 11-week class will be held at the B Street Community Center on 57 Birch St.
The goal of the program is to help students find entry-level office positions after they learn communications skills with a customer service focus and use a variety of computer skills. Data entry, Excel, email and Microsoft Office are among the programs covered.
Carla Maddocks graduated from the program in late 2016.
“This class has helped me regain confidence and assured me that I can obtain employment that will be satisfying and rewarding if I persevere,” she said.
To schedule a CASAS test, those interested may call Lewiston Adult Education at 207-795-4141. To sign up for the orientation, the Lewiston CareerCenter may be reached at 207-753-9000.
