According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there will be numerous openings
throughout the nation for jobs related to office administration such as secretary
and administrative assistant because of the need to replace employees who retire
from these positions in addition to meeting the needs of new and expanding agencies,
schools and corporations. Their research indicates that successful candidates for these
jobs must have an education in the computer software applications needed to perform
even the most basic duties related to running an office efficiently and effectively.
The Department of Labor also projects that those employees already in the office
administration field who improve their skills through continued computer training
are more likely to qualify for promotions within an organization. As technology evolves,
even those with experience in administrative office positions must update their skills in
order to remain valuable to their current employers or gain increased marketability.
