The ICS Training programs were developed to put into action the Institute's third mission to continuously upgrade the computing personnel of industry and government through training. The training programs center on common office productivity software and programming languages used in day to day business and research activities. Usually, the trainings are conducted during the Summer term with only a few programs being conducted by request during the regular terms. All training programs are conducted in fully air-conditioned training rooms with one trainee-one computer ratio. Manuals, handouts and exercises to hone skills are provided while certificates of attendance are given out to all participants who finished each program.
