Administrative support staff represents one of the largest occupational groups in the United States. Each year thousands of new job opportunities are available for those seeking initial employment as well as for those experienced in office work. Support staff positions can often serve as stepping-stones to management for those interested in advancement.

Employment opportunities and placements of administrative support staff students have been exceptionally good. Conservative predictions indicate that the need for qualified administrative support staff will not diminish, but the demand will far exceed the supply for many years. The diverse positions available in the U.S. and worldwide are among the advantages of this field of study.
