Secretarial Studies (DVS 5857)

Secretaries, also referred to as secretarial officers or receptionists, prepare and edit letters, invoices, publications, and file summaries on the computer. They answer incoming calls, greet clients, respond to informational emails and distribute correspondence. As part of their tasks, they may be responsible for taking inventory and ordering office supplies. It is a stimulating job that requires honesty, discretion and method. An office job as a secretary requires communicating orally and in writing in French and sometimes in English. Many secretaries choose to complement their training with a DVS in Accounting to become an administrative assistant or complete a short training program (AVS) to become a legal secretary or medical secretary.
