Program description
A career in office work is demanding, exciting, and fast-paced. You can be needed to build/maintain a website, create flyers, or create a newsletter in a regular office setting.
Understanding how to use the Internet for information, booking flights, and email processing is unavoidable. You will also be expected to manage desktop publishing, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, and electronic word processing.
