More Information
What Else Do I Need to Know?
- Administrative Officers is the eighth most common occupation of Prescott-Russell residents.
- Employment Outlook for Administrative Officers in the Ottawa Economic Region is expected to be fair. Demand for administrative officers will stem from the ongoing need for personnel to provide organizational support in offices. However, this occupation will be affected locally by an aging workforce combined with the impact of office automation. Most of the clerical duties that were previously performed by other staff now consolidated into the job functions of these workers. Administrative officers will also be assigned more professional and technical responsibilities and expected to provide more direct support to management. Several of the job openings will be for contract positions.
- Bilingual individuals and those who have knowledge of industry-specific data management software will have improved employment prospects. In certain industries that are seasonal in nature, such as educational services where employment of Administrative Officers locally is greatest, employment may be less favourable in summer months.
