Office Administration - General

Overview

A career in office work is challenging, fastpaced, and interesting. In a typical office, you might be required to create/maintain a website, produce flyers, or generate a news letter. You certainly will need to know how to use the Internet for information, travel arrangements, and e-mail processing. Further, you will be expected to manage electronic word processing, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, and desktop publishing. ‘Soft skills’ such as the ability to manage your time, greet visitors properly, and answer the telephone effectively are highly valued by employers and taught in this program.

    Testimonials

    “Looking back to the Legal/Medical Office Administration program, I have had many doors open up during my duration of the program. I was able to widen my network contacts, strengthen my skills and even received a student bursary for an Office Assistant job in the School of Business. Graduating from the program, I feel more confident and more self-aware of myself going into the work force.”
