Digital Literacy-Google Workspace

[Audio] In an era where digital transformation is reshaping the way we work, communicate, and collaborate, the importance of digital literacy cannot be overstated. As organizations strive to become more sustainable and efficient, leveraging digital tools like Google Workspace has emerged as a powerful solution to reduce environmental impact while enhancing productivity. Recognizing this potential, the CCICT Organic Faculty and Staff propose the extension project titled "Digital Literacy: Google Workspace". This initiative aims to empower faculty and staff with the skills and knowledge to fully utilize Google Workspace tools, fostering a culture of sustainability, collaboration, and innovation. By promoting paperless communication, virtual meetings, and efficient digital workflows, this project seeks to minimize the environmental footprint of daily operations while improving organizational efficiency. Through targeted training, resource development, and continuous monitoring, the CCICT Organic Faculty and Staff are committed to driving meaningful change, ensuring that digital literacy becomes a cornerstone of a sustainable and future-ready workplace. This proposal outlines our vision to integrate Google Workspace into everyday practices, equipping our community with the tools to thrive in a digital-first world while contributing to a greener, more sustainable future..

[Audio] Statement of need Due to the escalating inflation rate, the cost of living in our community has surged, posing a formidable challenge for families to sustain themselves. However, despite economic pressures, various responsibilities make it important for the wife to be present at home..

[Audio] Relevance of Need However, despite economic pressures, various responsibilities make it important for the wife to be present at home. With the advent of the hybrid workforce model, there is an opportunity for the wife to contribute to the family's financial well-being without compromising her commitments at home..

[Audio] The chart illustrates the employment status of beneficiaries, with the majority being housewives (26 individuals), followed by smaller numbers in occupations like sewing (3), office staff (3), and home baking (2). Other categories, such as government workers and construction workers, are represented by only one individual each, highlighting a significant disparity in employment roles..

[Audio] As for the trainings offered under the umbrella of College of Computer, Information and Communications Technology, 7 or 19% chose Digital Literacy in Google Workspace, 5 or 14% preferred Multimedia, 11 or 31% preferred Computer Systems Servicing while 13 of them or 36% of the respondent group chose Automation as presented in Figure 2. These trainings are really beneficial in order for them to be able to get an offer online or through physical work that will help them sustain their daily need through the income that they will receive from the work that each trainee accepts..

[Audio] Proposed Solution Having a large family with less income is so difficult nowadays as inflation rates always go higher and higher every day. It is advantageous if the other half has an additional income in order to sustain the daily needs of the family and the extension team believes that giving them training related to Google application would really help them get jobs online though they are just in their individual homes attending to their family needs. The proposed training that the Extension Team offered to the beneficiaries will be of great help for them especially to most home makers since after the said training, they will be given a certificate that will vouch for the skills that they will obtain from the said training. This will serve also as a proof that the beneficiaries are capable of doing the work such as the implementation of the different applications offered by google technology and this will be an advantage on their end compared to other applicants who are also applying for a part-time job online..
