Introduction

The Office Management and Computer Application Department (OMCA) is in the technology education business. We live in a culture governed by the demands of digital life. This digital life blurs and transforms old boundaries between work and home, public and private. It requires ever-increasing levels of technology literacy and competency. Computer software tools and devices constantly evolve and expand, as well as the skills needed to use them. OMCA serves that need across the entire arc of digital life. Our mission is to develop “technology-savvy adults” who possess literacy and competency in software productivity applications and tools that are part and parcel of our everyday lives—in the office, in the home office and in personal living. The OMCA Department is designed to meet the needs of all students and working professionals with a desire to improve their computer skills.
