Jeld Wen - Bite Size Computer Course

In April the Multi- Mobile Learning Bus visited Jeld-Wen at Lowestoft . The course being delivered was Introduction to Computers. 10 Learners took part and most had had little or no previous experience of this equipment or training before.

The course covered the basic operating and closing procedures and also covered Microsoft Word. The task was to create a poster using different fonts and to resize into a colourful page.  

Using Clip Art in the poster was fun and many of the learners found that using computers wasn’t as difficult as they had thought. All of the Learners are keen to do more courses and some have said they would like progression courses.

Jeld Wen - Bite Size Internet Course

After the last successful visit to the company delivering a Basic Computer course employees wanted to do more of the same.

Willie Rouse the ULR promoted the Bite Size Internet course and it attracted seven employees. A greater number would have attended, but due to shift changes four or five could not attend.

The course consisted of basic understanding of how and why it was developed. Search Engines and how to recognise the Web addresses in different forms. After all the tool bars and other basic application were shown individuals search for interests they have and explored the WWW.  

All that attend found it useful and were keen to enrol on computer courses as soon as they can be arranged.

John McMillan, Lowestoft College tutor, added a 3 hour session of problem solving, identify components, stripping hardware, rebuild and installing software.

The course proved to be a great success, as all of them now want to build their own computers.  John has agreed to design a course for this for 2005.

Football Basics came to Jeld-Wen

The employer had agreed to release all employees to take part in the activity for half an hour on the day.

Unfortunately the communication amongst the company was poor and only 25 employees attended. Out of these 13 said they would like to attend Basic Computer courses or improve their Maths or English.

One potential new ULR recruited and £34 was raised for Children in Need so a success in the end.
