I joined Yukon Learn's computer literacy program to build my Excel skills and gain general computer knowledge, and it’s been a fantastic experience. Coming from a background in trades and now transitioning into the office side, I was searching for courses that were practical, organized, and affordable. Yukon Learn's program met all these needs and more, offering well-structured, high-quality courses at just $5—something I couldn’t find anywhere else. My confidence with technology has soared, and tools like Excel and computer navigation are now so much easier and more approachable. I’ll be recommending Yukon Learn to many others in trades who, like me, are looking to expand their skills for office work. This program has truly been a supportive and cost-effective way to make that leap!

Joining the computer literacy program was an easy decision for me, as the course length and focus on essential office skills were perfect. The new skills I've gained, especially in Word and Excel, have opened up so many possibilities and revealed just how much I had to learn—Word's ribbon alone is so powerful! These skills are invaluable as I prepare for a career in administration. Since starting, my confidence with technology has grown immensely, and I'm eager to take more classes in the future. I’d encourage anyone considering this program to go for it—Yukon Learn has so much to offer.

In 2022, Rosa came to the Yukon Learn Society to learn English, from reading, writing, to conversational skills. At the time, she says : ‘I was not even able to form a complete sentence in English, now, I am sitting here with you, fully conversational! That is a huge win!’ Rosa will continue her lessons at Yukon Learn as long as she can and looks forward to the next event to volunteer in to give back to her community.

What does literacy mean for you? It can be anything we want to learn. It does not need to be limited to reading and writing. Of course, it helps to be able to navigate the world we live in. Growing up, it was instilled in my brain that if I did not have an education, I would have difficulties getting ahead in life. As an Asian immigrant, it was the most important thing to achieve - a priority! I believe one should never stop learning. It keeps our brain sharp. I truly believe in literacy, and everyone should have access to it.
