Description:

The Administrative Support 1 Skills Certificate prepares the student as an entry-level office worker in private industry, non-profit organizations, and government offices. Typical duties include answering the telephone, effectively using a computerized work processing program to prepare correspondence and reports, and filing alphabetically and numerically.

Students desiring more advanced skills may wish to pursue the Administrative Support 2 Certificate of Achievement. Completion of the Administrative Support 1 Skills Certificate fulfills 12.3 units of the Administrative Support 2 Certificate of Achievement.

The role of office professionals (commonly known as receptionist, typist, and secretary) has changed due to the downsizing of companies, a decrease in middle managers, and increased use of technology. Excellent opportunities for employment continue in many companies. Because job titles in industry vary, emphasis is placed on skills and competency levels rather than job titles. Programs encompass the integration of 21st Century workforce skills emphasizing communication, teamwork, project management, and problem solving.
