This is the age of the specialist. Regardless of the industry, knowing a lot about one thing often makes you more valuable to potential employers than knowing a little about everything.
Nowhere does this hold truer than in the field of law. Not only do the practicing attorneys tend to concentrate in specialties (e.g., tax law, criminal law, litigation, etc.) but their assistants are usually expected to have special technical expertise as well.
This is why Everest College of Business, Technology and Health Care offers Legal Administrative Assistant career education at its Hamilton City Centre campus. Designed for people interested in support positions in law firms, corporate law offices and government agencies, this seven-month program offers students instruction in concepts and skills specific to the legal field in addition to a general background in business skills and software. Upon graduation, Everest College's career services representatives can help match students with local law firms and other employers who are looking for legal administrative support and know the school's reputation for educational excellence.
