In the two-year Ontario College Diploma Office Administration program, students learn how to communicate efficiently and prepare reports and presentations, as well as general accounting and customer service skills. Graduates are prepared to become competent professionals that executives rely on by offering the latest office computer technology and teaching how to best use their organizational and communication skills to communicate with co-workers, managers, clients, and customers.
Unique Program Experiences
A SILEx opportunity – OA students complete a SILEX project during their Office Procedures course in Level 2 where they meet with a mentor working in the field of Office Admin and create a staff manual for that mentor’s workplace. Students use skills learned in all courses to ensure that their document is ready to use.
Additionally, our Level 4 students get the opportunity to plan a multi-day conference and have many chances to work with live clients on projects big and small.
You can learn more about our SILEx experience at SILEx and Job Skills for the Future.
