All registered FIU students have access to free software training sessions. Attending a workshop can help students refine their software skills required for course work or future job placement. These hands-on workshops are delivered in computer training labs that provide both meaningful group interaction and individual assistance, while helping students stay current with technology.

Each instructor-led workshop is presented in a convenient one-hour session and requires no prior registration.
