OFFICE TECHNOLOGY

Instructor: Donna Ferrara
 

This program is designed to prepare students for entry-level office work by duplicating business conditions in curriculum content and working environment. The physical layout and appearance of the office technology laboratory resembles that of a large business office. Students in this program receive training in the following areas and/or equipment: personal computer applications in word processing and spreadsheets, reception duties, letter and memorandum composition and format, report writing, use of electronic printing calculators, photocopiers, and telephone protocol and office organization. While enrolled in this three year program, students will also be exposed to relevant business vocabulary from the various clerical areas, complete simulation projects geared towards life skills—personal money management, budgeting, etc., and unit projects devoted to understanding and embracing the expectations of the workplace environment.

Career Opportunities: Receptionist, Personnel Clerk, Typist and Word Processor, Legal and Medical Administrative Assistants, Clerical Supervisor, Systems Manager, Office Manager, Human Resource Officer.
