Taking Office and Records Administration was one of the best things I have ever done. The class sizes are small, and the instructors are great. The education that the program provided me with has prepared me for the challenges that I face on the job every day. Because of my education, I had many options open to me. I now work at NAIT and have already received one promotion. My goal is to continue on with my education and earn my degree through Athabasca University where I will receive two years’ credit because of my Office and Records Administration diploma.
Angie Jendruck of 2005I asked my employers why I was chosen for my current position and they stated that the expert level of training in the main software programs is what caught their attention. They were looking for someone with excellent computer skills and the ability to take on a challenging role with many diverse tasks. They said that after reading about the Office and Records Administration program, they concluded that the graduates from the program had everything they were looking for.
I absolutely feel that if it were not for this program, I would not be where I am today. The software program, grammar and organizational skills taught gave me confidence to work at all levels, and the real-life situations used as teaching tools give the experience the companies are looking for. All those combined make for a very professional, confident individual ready to make an immediate impact on any company.
