Why Excel has become an essential skill
Mastering Excel has gone from being a differentiator to a prerequisite in several professional areas.
With the advancement of digitalization and the growing demand for data analysis and organization, knowing how to use spreadsheets has become an almost mandatory skill.
From small businesses to multinationals, Excel is used for inventory control, financial reporting, performance analysis and strategic planning.
According to a survey by the Catho employment portal, professionals who know how to use Excel can receive salaries up to 20% higher in certain functions, especially when they have mastery of formulas, graphs and advanced features of the tool.
Practical, accessible and straight to the point course
The SENAI course was developed for those who want to understand, in a simple way, how Excel works in practice.
During the training, students will learn how to create basic formulas, organize data in columns and rows, apply filters, format spreadsheets and build clear and objective graphs.
The idea is that even those without previous experience can follow the content with ease.
Instructors will also show how Excel can be useful for organizing personal budgets, study schedules or professional reports.
The idea is to eliminate the idea that the program is too complex, showing that it can be a tool accessible to everyone.
From school to business management: where Excel fits in
Excel is used in virtually every sector of the economy, whether for routine tasks or more complex activities.
In education, teachers use spreadsheets to track grades; in commerce, it is an essential tool for tracking sales; in technology companies, it serves as a basis for analysis and reports.
Additionally, many entrepreneurs use the program to organize expenses, calculate profits, and understand the financial health of their businesses.
Mastering Excel opens doors not only in the formal market, but also for those who undertake or work independently.
Free training promotes digital inclusion
Offering a free course with this proposal is also a way of promoting digital and social inclusion.
For many, this is the first opportunity to come into contact with information technology content.
Access to quality training, with a focus on practical skills, allows more people to prepare for the demands of today's job market.
SENAI, recognized for its tradition in technical training aimed at industry, has modernized to meet a growing demand for short courses focused on digital skills.
The Tatuí unit frequently offers free training in areas such as IT, electrical, automation and mechanics.
Knowledge that can go beyond the basics
Learning Excel at a basic level may be just the first step.
After the course, participants can continue their education through educational tracks that lead to advanced Excel, Power BI, VBA, and data analysis.
These skills are increasingly valued in companies looking to automate processes and make data-driven decisions.
Platforms such as Microsoft Learn, Fundação Bradesco and free online courses offer complementary paths for those who want to delve deeper and, eventually, work in areas such as Business Intelligence and data management.
