Administrative Assistants are the heart and life blood of any organization! They have an intimate knowledge of how the office works and functions. Without them, top level executives would be lost in their very own offices.
In todays work environment they perform fewer clerical tasks and are increasingly taking on the roles of information and communication managers.
They plan and schedule meetings and appointments, organize and maintain paper and electronic files, manage projects conduct research and disseminate information. They also may handle travel and guest arrangements.
However, any successful Administrative Assistant will tell you this barely scratches the surface of everything they do. As a student of SCIs program you will study computer applications, office procedures, business communication skills and job search techniques.
