Office Technology Training Program

The 30-week Office Technology Training Program prepares students for entry-level positions in a variety of office jobs such as secretary, receptionist, administrative assistant, customer service, data-entry, and office clerk. The program concentrates on subject areas important to the business and office setting. Employment is the expected outcome of the program, and career services are provided to all students. Presentations by representatives of local corporations help guide students in their employment preparation. In addition to appropriate textbooks and other materials, students have access to a resource center and computer labs.

During the course of training, students may participate in a number of training-related experiences in addition to their classroom instruction. These activities include, but are not limited to, mock interviews, work place observation, field trips, and workshops/presentations. These activities are considered to be an integral aspect of training. Students are expected to be punctual to all appointments scheduled on their behalf.

To successfully complete the OTT program, students are expected to achieve a minimum typing NWPM (net words per minute) and ten-key KSPH (keystrokes per hour).
