Troy High School – Digital Business

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course will expose students to hands-on business applications using Microsoft Office, platforms for blogging and building websites, such as WordPress, online graphic design programs such as Canva and the responsible and ethical use of AI systems. The course will cover applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, with the goal of students becoming certified through the Microsoft Office Specialist Program or Communication Career Skills (CCS) Artificial Intelligence Certification. This certification is worth one ACE credit which is transferrable at most colleges and universities. The students will also use the three applications to create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets in a “mock” business setting. Resumes, cover letters, interview skills, presentation skills, and career search skills will be discussed. Students will also discuss various introductory business topics, such as data analysis to make business decisions, utilize planning tools to guide organizations/departmental activities and to develop policies and procedures to protect workplace security.
