SCRETARY STUDIES
Why do you need to take a course in Computer science and Secretariat studies?
Several reasons nowadays justify the need to train in computer science and particularly
in office management. We have listed a few for you:
• Nowadays, it is impossible to avoid IT : Digital technology has transformed our way of
life, thinking, and consumption. It has also become an integral part of most job requirements,
including data entry software, word processing software, data table analysis software,
the Internet, electronic communication, and more. Not having knowledge of these tools
puts individuals at a huge disadvantage, whether they are students, job seekers, or managers.
• Companies and public administrations are gradually integrating IT: To remain competitive,
companies and public administrations are adapting to these changes by integrating IT into
their operations. Individuals who are well-versed in digital tools, such as electronic
communication, collaborative work, effective research on the Internet, and social media,
have an advantage when looking for employment opportunities.
• People trained in computer science have the advantage when recruiting: Moreover, individuals
with computer skills can improve their own performance and that of their employers. Enhancing
computer knowledge helps workers perform their tasks more efficiently, which, in turn, can
lead to promotions, salary increases, and overall growth of the companies and administrations.
• Computer-trained or computer-skilled workers improve their own performance and that of their
employer: Increasing worker's computer knowledge generally helps these people perform their
jobs more quickly and easily, thus encouraging promotions and salary increases, but also and
above all the growth of the companies and administrations that employ them.
