Nowadays, automation is a critical partner in productivity and operations for organizations to excel. In the SEC, the human resource, as computer users, is expected to be equipped with the necessary computer proficiency to maximize technology in communications, in managing data, generating reports, in conducting complex accounting functions, problem-solving, synthesizing, and many more.
This program is expected to increase the knowledge and proficiency of the participants with the use of Microsoft Office (MS Office) applications – Word, PowerPoint, Excel – from intermediate to advanced. This program will make the SEC employees more productive insofar as report writing, preparation of memorandums, and data management or handling voluminous data is concerned. The program will aid the participants in preparing the presentation materials of their superiors and promote the SEC and what it does as a regulatory agency.
The SEC intends to capacitate the employees to become IT-savvy tactical and administrative operators for their principals.

This program is a pioneering effort, which requires a highly customized learning design and delivery to level-up the game of our SEC workforce. Competency-based, it is supposed to build up on the standard computer proficiency requirement (which means familiarity with the Microsoft suite: Excel, Word, and PowerPoint) and bring our SEC workforce into a much higher level of functionality and efficacy than ever before.
