According to Manpower’s Talent Shortage Survey for 2009, Secretaries, PAs, Administrative Assistants and Office support staff are the ninth most sought-after jobs in the world.

Secretarial training can be found in FET colleges as well through training providers, where applicants can sharpen their administration skills, improve their understanding of computers, word processing, file management, basic mathematics, office administration, communications and human relations.

The right secretary training experience has the potential to qualify applications for positions in social and legal services, banking and finance, health care, education, manufacturing, construction, technical support, and many other industry sectors.

From attending secretary training courses, trainees can improve their communication and telephone skills, which in turn improve their ability to serve customers.

Administrative secretaries also have the opportunity to learn the importance of trust in human relations, and to gain confidence and assertiveness. Secretaries may also improve their productivity, with emphasis on self knowledge and personal efficacy.
