    What is Tech Training Fridays? 
    Tech Training Fridays is a weekly training event, featuring short and highly focused trainings. Every month will be themed around a certain software or technology.  And to keep the trainers on their toes, we will occasionally host a "Stump the Trainer" event, where you ask your tech questions and we answer them.

    Print the attached schedule (or stop by CETL) and keep it near your desk.
