In a competitive, pressure-filled world, executives need to make the most of their time. Executive administrative professionals help executives at the top levels of companies and organizations stay at the top of their game. We coordinate schedules, manage communications, keep track of finances, record meeting minutes, prepare documents and presentations for meetings, and anything else executives need. Executive assistants are a cross between a project manager, office administrator, and strategic ally. If you have excellent communications skills, thrive on multi-tasking and organization, and want to work directly with company leaders, a career as an executive administrative professional could be a great move.
In our Administrative Professional: Executive program, youll build upon the core abilities of the Administrative Professional program to perform at an executive level. Youll learn skills in word processing, data entry, spreadsheets, and accounting software applications, as well as how to create multi-media presentations and professional-quality publications. Our training and workplace experience will also provide you with expert problem-solving, managerial, and interpersonal skills. Senior executives are always looking for qualified administrative professionals who are key in their productivity and indispensable to their team. Enroll today and pursue a rewarding career helping business leaders perform at their best.
Career Possibilities
Our graduates find employment in a wide variety of roles, including office managers, executive assistants, managerial-level support staff, trainers, and receptionists. Wherever you find top-level leaders, you'll see executive administrative professionals, including working for corporations, government departments, non-profits, professional associations, and more.
As their professional experience grows, many administrative professionals progress to working for increasingly senior-level executives within organizations.
