The Associate degree program in Office Administration and Technology prepares the office workers for organizational support roles. The technologically-intensified work settings of today demand skilled office administrators with college-level training.
Students acquire both rudimentary and advanced skills for office-related roles from an array of specialized courses that affords them the competencies for administrative positions. Competencies stemming from the specialized courses are in the sort of office manager assistant, office procedure coordinator, document processing supervisor, and general office operatives. It is usefully presumed that all organizations need administrative support staffers, with relatively effective, technical, and reasonably good communication skills, to operate optimally. Terminally, acquisition of the associate degree in office administration should provide graduates with the necessary capabilities to administer programs, procedures, and processes that are central to office work.
“Employment is expected to grow through the year 2010” cites the United States Department Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook. Technological improvement is yet to slow job growth to a woeful halt in the field of office management, particularly in a city such as New York. Tens of thousands of office jobs are emerging in New York City, owing to attrition. Sufficient number of job opportunities will emerge from the technological shift that is occurring. ASA is committed to hone students with the skills that are needed to be successful entrants into these emerging jobs.
Furthermore, the development and success of the Metro Tech Center in downtown Brooklyn has made the area a hub for government, education, and business offices. Thus local demands for administrative support staffers are growing in spurts.
The Associate in Occupational Studies degree program in Office Administration and Technology requires the successful completion of 61 semester credit hours for graduation.
