Imagine how hard it would be to get a job if you couldn't read and write. Now imagine trying to get a job without knowing word processing, business writing or spreadsheet operation. The truth is, these 21st century office skills are just as essential today as traditional reading and writing in most parts of the Canadian economy. Having these skills can open doors in almost every industry. Not having them may mean years of constant struggle and disappointment.
Fortunately, if you live in the Sudbury area, you can learn modern office skills and other essential business tools in as little as five months. The Sudbury campus of Everest College of Business, Technology and Health Care offers an Office Assistant career education program that covers a wide range of 21st century skill sets. Even if you don't plan to pursue an office assistant, administrative assistant or secretary position, you will probably be able to use most — if not all — of these skills in any career you choose.
