Digital confidence starts early - and for teenagers and young people, knowing how to use Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint can provide a real edge. Whether it’s academic studies, part-time jobs or future plans, these tools help you feel more capable and ready for what’s next.

Instead of guessing or relying on templates, you can build real skills that serve you in both education and early work experience.

Common Challenges Teenagers and Young People Face

· Feeling unsure how to use Word, Excel or PowerPoint beyond the basics.

· Relying on templates or copying friends when creating assignments.

· Wanting to feel more independent and capable with digital work.

· Needing help presenting ideas clearly for school or college.

· Not knowing how to prepare for digital expectations in future jobs.
