CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:

They indicate that, "Currently, chances of finding work in this occupation are rated 'Good' (their highest rating), as employment opportunities are above average and earnings are at the average level. Over the next five years, this outlook is not expected to change, as the number of job openings is expected to be matched by the number of qualified job seekers."

Although graduates of this program can expect to find positions such as: Web Developer, Digital Image Processor, Documentation Specialist, Digital Electronic Prepress Technician, Technical Publications Specialist and Graphics Designer, the more generic title of Administrative Assistant is used frequently to describe available posts.
