Administrative Assistants are
responsible for a variety of administrative duties that
allow an organization to run efficiently. AA’s wear
many hats at their place of employment and are often
responsible for coordinating meetings, organizing
paper and electronic files, answering phones,
assisting customers or members of the public, and
handling aspects of a company’s budget.
Students at Sheridan College who pursue
a Certificate or an Associate of Applied
Science degree in Administrative Assistance are those who are interested in
working with the public as well as members
of an organization.
At Sheridan College students build
computer-based skills in such programs as Access, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel, which
they will need an in-depth knowledge or if they take the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOUS)
