MS Teams and OneNote 4-Part Online Training Series
Microsoft Teams and OneNote are powerful tools for communication, collaboration, and organization—if you know how to use them to their full potential. These two programs have quickly become essential in the modern workplace, yet many professionals only scratch the surface of what they can do. Teams streamlines communication, replaces endless email threads, and centralizes your files, meetings, and project updates all in one place. OneNote serves as your digital notebook, keeping ideas, meeting notes, and to-do lists organized and easy to find. Together, they can transform how you work—helping you collaborate more effectively, stay organized, and save time every single day. This training series will show you how to get the most out of these tools so you can work smarter, not harder.
You can register for individual sessions or the entire series, and each session attended earns you 2 Master Builder Designation (MBD) credits in Project Management. As an exclusive member benefit, MBI members can attend at no additional cost, while non-members are welcome to join for a fee.
This live, online training via Zoom is led by David Mills of ZenTek Consultants, who brings a construction background and uses examples directly relevant to the construction industry.
