Applicants and Technology

Lake Havasu Unified School District   Preparing for tomorrow — One student at a time

Office 2007 Information

Technology is used throughout the Lake Havasu Unified School District (LHUSD).  It is important that our employees be familiar with the technology they will be using in their jobs.  Clerical and administrative assistant applicants are tested on their technology skills as part of the hiring process. 

We use Microsoft Office 2007 as our primary office-type software for  e-mail, documents, spreadsheets, presentations and databases.  As the look and feel of Office 2007 has changed dramatically from older versions with its new fluent user interface, we are providing the links below to training material and demos from Microsoft to help you learn or enhance your Office 2007 skills.

The district encourages applicants to use the links below to access training courses, videos, interactive user guides and more to become more proficient with Office 2007 prior to testing. If you are hired, we also provide free training classes after school to increase your technology skills.
