Business Administration Apprenticeships

Did you know that there are over 3.25 million people in the UK currently working in Business & Administration roles? Millions more are working in positions that require administration skills in some respect,- It's the oil in the machine.

Many sectors are now entering a critical period: the ageing 'baby boomers' are approaching retirement and beginning to reduce their hours or leave altogether. The prosperity of individuals, businesses and the nation depends, in part, on the acquisition of professional administration skills. For some organisations this means a large amount of capability and experience will leave their roles over a relatively short period of time with current administration replacement demand running at 600,000 people over the next five years. We need to get training.

This apprenticeship trains you to play an important support role within a business or organisation.

Administrators handle the day-to-day tasks in an office and make sure things run smoothly. This sort of work requires a strong sense of responsibility, accuracy and attention to detail.

This covers roles that involve organising people and resources such as:

·  executive assistants

·  secretaries

·  administration assistants

·  data entry clerks

·  office juniors

As a business and administration apprentice, your exact duties will depend on your employer but could include:

typing up board meeting documents, putting financial information together in spreadsheets, sending the daily post

faxing and photocopying confidential documents
