Course introduction

1. Course introduction

Hello and welcome. In this course, you'll explore Google Sheets, Google's cloud-based spreadsheet software included with Google Workspace. Through a series of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on activities, it's our hope that you'll become more confident using Google Sheets. Google Sheets lets you create and edit spreadsheets directly in a web browser; no special software is required. Multiple users can work simultaneously, you can see individual changes as they're made, and every change is saved automatically. We encourage you to remain signed in to Google Workspace as you complete this course, not just for the activities. You can pause the video lecture or demonstration at any time to explore and practice for yourself, helping to ensure that you understand the topics being discussed. This course follows a fictional customer called On the Rise as they embark on their Google Workspace journey. At the end of the course, you'll use Google Sheets to solve a business challenge On the Rise is facing. Let's take a look at the scenario you'll use to learn a few key features of Google Sheets. Over the last year, as On the Rise has grown, the size of its employee base has increased significantly. Local stores have been advertising for employees to keep up with both bakery production and customer service demand. The On the Rise leadership team has received several memos from store owners around the world, asking for help as they search for new employees. In one of the leadership meetings, the bakery owners, Thomas Omar and Saroja Malone, returned to the head of HR and employee development, Sherry West, and asked her to provide an up-to-date summary of the number of employment openings and a forecast of upcoming job vacancies. Sherry West has contacted you to help her organize the data she has collected from the various regions. She hopes that by analyzing the numbers, you can help her understand the current employment situation. Ready to get started? Let's begin.
