Bridging the Technology Literacy Gap in the Workplace

Serie-Home•Feed

My name is Troy A. Burgher, the host of this show, and the Owner of TAB Training & Consulting, LLC. The vision of TAB Training & Consulting, LLC is to bridge the technology literacy gap. We specialize in working with community-based social-service organizations, religious institutions, and city-sponsored organizations to identify and address the computer and technology literacy needs of their respective community and of its residents. Most of the communities we serve are often economically disadvantaged and with limited current and viable technology resources available to them. Therefore it is our mission to help individuals reach their maximum potential by developing their human capital through computer and technology literacy. We use our workshops, seminars/webinars and training programs to teach and demonstrate how technology can be a powerful tool in the development of human capital. Our radio show will be used to promote computer and technology literacy with a special focus on the advantages of and capabilities provided by Microsoft Office Suite applications as a tool for acquiring such necessary skill sets.

“Enough Already! No More Excuses – It’s Time to Get Organized!” 31:00

vor 6 years31:00

31:00

So, I remember being told by my mom “everything has a place and therefore makes it easy to find and easier to put back in its proper place.” Little did I know that this would be my first lesson in becoming an organized person and professional that I am today. I think I drive my wife crazy with it sometimes and is the one common trait that I am known for possessing by my professional colleagues. One thing I learned early on in my journey as an entrepreneur, which began more than 25 years ago, is the importance of being organized; not just for myself, but more importantly for my business clients & training students. The only thing that has changed over the many years are the tools that I use to stay organized; both within my business and how I operate outside of my business wither at a client’s location or even in a classroom setting. I'll be sharing during the broadcast more about an "organizational" tool that I use on a regular basis starting with my #1 tool for keeping me organized and that is the application – Microsoft OneNote. Food for Thought: Imagine purchasing an item and the instructions are missing from the box. What will you do? Here are two options; forge ahead using the picture on the box as a guide, bring the item back to the store, or use the Internet to search for and download the instructions. Why is this important? The instructions are organized in such a way that if followed, it will yield the best chance of success in putting together the item the way it was intended to be completed. Without the instructions (a series of detailed [organized & planned] steps telling how something should be done) the desired results may not be achieved.…

Successfuly achieving your 2019 New Year's Resolutions! 16:00

vor 6 years16:00

Troy A. Burgher states confidently and with great conviction that technology is the key to achieving one’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2019. Coming off a severe medical issue in 2018, one of the comforting aspects of dealing with that issue (outside of the tremendous support of family and friends) was technology and how I was able to begin my preparation for a comeback year in 2019. Technology afforded me the ability to learn new skills, communicate with family & friends, work on my newly created business, maximize the time I had due to being restricted to my home during recovery, and I was even able to develop a virtual business relationship another business owner for accountability. Over the next two TABRadio broadcasts (1/20/19 & 1/27/19) and also on my business web site’s (www.tabtraining.com) blog page, I will be sharing in more detail, how I will continue to use technology as a tool to develop and build up my self-discipline to handle the obstacles and discomfort associated with making changes in order to develop new habits. It’s often stated that it takes anywhere from 21-66 days to form a new habit, so I must also show great patience for myself during this process; much like I‘ve done throughout my computer training career; lasting over a 25 year span.…

Give the Gift of Knowledge this Holiday Season 16:00

Do something different this holiday season by giving someone a gift that will keep giving. Give the gift of knowledge that will provide a long-lasting benefit and grow in value over time. Today so much effort and time are spent on being “in the moment”, with very little time spent on planning for the future. Everything has to happen now! "I want an answer to my work issue by clicking on this phone app – now!" Or, "I want a job paying more money because I want to live a certain lifestyle – now! Or, even better, I want the raise and promotion (that someone else worked hard to acquire) - now! Even though I feel I am the right candidate, so what I didn’t take the employee advancement courses at work that would have qualified me for the raise and promotion." I am sure that you've heard all of these scenarios before, ones that I have come across as a trainer with over 25 years of employee training and working as a freelancer facilitating computer literacy/Microsoft Office Application classes. Why not take this opportunity to empower someone (family member, friend, or co-worker) to help them help themselves. Show them you really care by helping them invest in building up their technology literacy? Give that person the “Gift of Knowledge” this holiday season.…

We're Not Your Average Computer Training Business 15:00

vor 6 years15:00

There are two "technology literacy" gaps in the workplace! 25 years ago, I started working in an office-type environment where one’s technology literacy was based on the ability to "use" a computer, a printer, a copy machine, and a fax machine in order to perform his/her daily job duties. So much has changed since then, especially when it comes to administrative-type tasks and duties that were once the sole responsibility of the administrative department or staff within an organization. Now with so much information easily accessible in an unbelievably face-paced workplace, the dependency of an "administrative only" staff breaks the budget or it puts management in a tough position of dealing with their own "technology literacy" gap that exists between them and the admin line worker. As a result of this, TAB Training & Consulting, LLC has created a unique service that aims to bridge the gap that exists between the employee and job-related admin tasks and the gap that exists between management and the admin front-line employees. What used to be, and still is in many cases, the headache of a company's IT Department that exhausts staff resources, we are addressing through the employee onboarding process and by offering company-oriented and goal-specific training to relieve the stress caused due to the lack of administrative-related daily tasks. Learn more about how we plan to address this situation through our virtual learning platform as we empower employees to become more efficient, effective, and productive users of technology.…

Special Mother's Day Edition - Paying Tribute to Three Pioneers in My Life 15:00

What a wonderful way to return to our regularly scheduled Sunday afternoon TABRadio broadcasts than on Mother's Day to acknowledge three individuals, yes you guessed it - all moms, that have been so instrumental in my life and in the development of the person that I am. During today's broadcast, I will highlight how each of these individuals played such a crucial role in my pursuit of achieving success as a social entrepreneur completely dedicated to enhancing the human capital and technology literacy of individuals residing in socially and economically challenged communities. These three moms are my grandmother (Rose Hamilton), my Mom (Brenda Timms), and my sister (Tracy Burgher). I am also the first to admit that there have been so many other moms that have greatly influenced the person that I have become, but these three are the ones that were pioneers to me - showing me how to survive against all odds and how to persevere against life's many obstacles. Please listen in to hear more about how these three individuals have helped me develop those intangible qualitied I will need to achieve the success that I have outlined in both my personal and professional life.…

Mason Beacon Program within his neighborhood, he’s developed a passion for sharing his knowledge of computers and software applications with residents of inner-city communities; in particular desktop applications within the Microsoft Office Suite of applications.

Since April is Financial Literacy Month and tax time has passed, let's begin focusing on our finances for the remainder of 2015. I know you have been putting your receipts into a shoebox or an accordion file, so let’s start recording, tracking and managing those expenses so we can make some basic financial decisions like; what vacation(s) can we schedule this year? Which expense(s) can we cut back on to start saving towards our year-end-goal? Let me share with you this awesome tool that you can create by attending my signature Microsoft Excel training program called the "Manage Your Personal Finances" or MYPF Learning Program. The MYPF Learning Program takes a total of eight hours to complete. During the training you will learn various Microsoft Excel functions and concepts that will provide you with knowledge that can be used in other aspects of your life (personally, professionally, or academically). The program is now being offered in a virtual platform, over the Internet, and it is designed for the beginner or novice computer user. All that you need is the Microsoft Office Excel application and an Internet connection. The goal of the program is to help individuals become more "efficient, effective and productive" users of technology.

Did you know that April is Financial Literacy Month? Do you have in place the means to track your daily, weekly, or monthly expenses? Was this one of your New Year’s Resolutions...and how is that going? I know, from personal experience, that recording things like "where I spend my money" and "how much I spend on certain non-essential items are things I don't like to know about or see (especially in a documented format). What typically works for most is to just check the current bank balance(s) and determine how things are until the next payday...but in that regard, how does one truly understand where money is being spent? This is something that my family and I had to deal with, just within the past year. During this broadcast I will be promoting April as Financial Literacy Month and the importance of knowing the how much, the where, the when and the why of our personal spending habits as a way to begin leveraging our financial status. Join me during the broadcast to learn more about simple ways to use the technology that is already at our fingertips (literally) as a way to get a better grasp of our financial picture. You can simply listen in to the broadcast or you can call in if you have a question or a comment that you would like to add. I look forward to you joining me this upcoming Sunday at 3:00 pm.…
