Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools for data analysis and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most popular analytic tool. \;\n \;\nMAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT 3\;\nThey are NOT seeing if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are d iving deeping when it comes to determining which candidate to interview and hire. They look for Pivot Table\, VLOOKUP\, Macros\, VBA\, Condition al Formatting\, Charting and Filtering…These are far more telling of you r ability to an employer then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKUP\ , Pivot Table\, Filtering demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so has eliminated a potential barrier in the mind of the hiring manager re viewing your resume. In essence\, use actual Excel functions in your Res ume! \;\n \;\nINCREASE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL \;\nDid you know that Excel know-how can instantly increase your job prospects as well as your starting salary? Excel is a transferrable skill that any hiring ma nager understands is critical. \;\nResearch shows job applicants who know MS Excel make $22.66 per hour on average compared to the $20.14 per hour their peers make who don’t know the program. That’s roughly an ext ra $20 per eight-hour workday and $100 per work week\, simply for knowin g how to use a single computer program. Moreover\, full-time employees i n certain industries can see a starting salary bump of anywhere from $1\ ,000 to $7\,000 per year based on their Excel skills. That’s not chump c hange you can ignore. \;\n \;\nINSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR? \;\nA ma jority 63 percent of twenty-somethings want to start their own business. How will you stay organized\, track data\, or forecast your finances if you’re not spreadsheet-savvy? \;\nMany millennials simply want their first job. But\, what about your performance once someone hires you? Th e biggest complaint employers have about millennials is that they lack b asic hard and soft skills.These skills include things like teamwork and problem solving\, but also basic administrative skills like MS Word and Powerpoint. Once you’re hired\, you want to meet the basic requirements of your role without stressing. \;\n \;\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR \ ;\nMartin Jetton has 30+ years of advanced supply chain analytics\, pred ictive analytics\, and statistical consulting experience.

Details that must be addresse d include: What data is being used to train the language models? Who own s the source data and the outputs that are generated? How accurate are t he models? How much human oversight of the model-building process is the re? And what are the potential harms when things go wrong? \;\n \; \nThese algorithms are already being used to make decisions about people ’s lives\, like whether a person gets a job or a bank loan and how much time a person convicted of a crime might spend in jail\, but students in particular are having their lives and actions analyzed more and more ev ery day. For instance\, proctoring software tries to determine whether s tudents are cheating on exams\, other software looks for plagiarism in s tudent essays and reports\, and there’s even software that analyzes emot ions and/or physical objects — Is the student happy or angry? Are they h olding a cellphone or a gun? \;\n \;\nThis month\, leaders from En code Justice Oregon — Maansi Singh\, Sahana Srinivasan\, and Julianne Hu ang — will join us to share their experiences and their work on drafting policy recommendations for use of AI in schools. They’ll speak about th eir concerns and how they think these technologies should be used in edu cational settings. They'll also discuss the upcoming Youth Citizens Asse mbly\, which will give students an opportunity to add their voices to th e digital privacy conversation and pitch their own ideas. \;\n \;\ nCome join us\, and bring your questions and thoughts about AI in school s! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via the Meetup link or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bios: \ ;\n \;\nEncode Justice is a global coalition of youth activists fight ing for justice and accountability in the digital age. Oregon’s chapter\ , Encode Justice Oregon\, works to educate their school\, local and stat ewide communities about algorithmic fairness while supporting legislatio n that encourages the safe and effective implementation of new technolog ies. From working with the Oregon DOJ's Consumer Privacy Task Force to e ngaging in connections with the Electronic Frontier Foundation\, Smart C ity PDX\, PDX Privacy\, and Rose Haven\, Encode Justice Oregon has estab lished a statewide presence centered around furthering the digital priva cy and equitable technology movement. \;\n \;\nMaansi Singh is a s enior at Jesuit High School in Portland\, Oregon.

Her position allows her to bring a youth voice into the AI Ethics co nversation and inspires her to continue being an advocate for people lik e her who have grown up in a tech-centered world.
