Course Description
Learn the fundamentals of being an administrative assistant. As technology has rapidly and conveniently altered every aspect of our lives--both our professional careers and our home environment--so has the roles and duties of the administrative assistant changed. Once thought to be 'just a secretary', the role and function of an administrative assistant has far exceeded the duties of a secretary, and has evolved to include serious responsibilities in order to ensure a smooth-running office.
The administrative assistant is responsible for all administrative activities within an office, as well as the storing, filing, sorting, and retrieval of all office information and communication. Particularly in small and medium-sized offices, or non-profit organizations--responsibilities can even include department budgeting and personnel management. Due to the many open-ended job descriptions assigned to admin assistants, it is little wonder why the admin assistant is one of the key roles for keeping an office productive, organized, and responsive to customer needs. Is this a career opportunity for you? Find out by joining this quick and easy, free online course.
