The Administrative Professional
In
yesterday's workplace, the role of "secretary" or "clerical
specialist" or even "administrative assistant" was
a rather narrowly defined one that demanded a high level of competence
but a fairly basic set of skills. Today, these essential members
of the organizational team are recognized as true professionals
with a widely varied and highly specialized set of skills. A large
portion of these skills are technology based, but the diversity
of today's workplace demands a broad range of human relation and
critical-thinking skills as well.
The Office Systems Technology (OST) program at NCTC is designed
to prepare students for the wide range of job opportunities available
in this exciting, challenging and constantly changing career field.
Whether you are just graduating from high school or need to update
your skills to keep up with emerging technology, the OST program
will better equip you to meet the demands of today's workplace.
Classes
The classes are designed to meet the specific needs of students.
They will prepare you for the ever-changing workplace through development
of professional skills, hands-on training on office machines and
computer applications, and by providing professional guidance and
an ethical foundation for the office environment.
OST faculty members have extensive experience in the field and
take a personal interest in serving their students. Each student
receives individualized attention from the faculty. Prior to graduation,
each student is enrolled in a capstone course and given the opportunity
to apply the many skills learned in the program.
