Contact Us +"Someone can say, 'I'm really good with Word. I'm pretty good with PowerPoint, too.' But it really doesn't have as much of an effect if you can say 'I'm certified at an expert level in Word' or 'I'm certified at a proficient level in Excel.' That's going to tell an employer a lot more about your skills. Our goal is to have students going down the right pathway to becoming digitally literate and into the work world. Tosa is one of the ways we do this for our students."
