Congratulations to Lisa Famularo ’16, on her recent achievement of earning Microsoft Office Specialist certification for Office Excel 2013.

According to Microsoft, a Microsoft Certification validates your expertise in a Microsoft technology. As a Microsoft Certified Professional, they’ll have access to community resources and tools that allow them to exchange ideas with peers, increase knowledge and skills, and broaden career opportunities.

“I appreciate having the opportunity to become Microsoft Excel certified because employers nowadays are looking for students who have a good grasp on business analytics and can use the associated software.  I have already been able to use what I learned in preparing for the exam in multiple class assigments and projects for work. Knowing how to navigate Excel is a very useful skill, and I know it will continue to come in handy in the future.” said Famularo

The Microsoft Certification exams not only help one to appeal to employers, but it also gives one the critical skills needed to work their way around Office programs efficiently.  This certification is overlooked by many institutions and will set our students apart from the competition.
