Administrative Services Manager Training and Jobs


Schools and Degrees

Larger organizations that have many branches prefer to employ administrative managers with a bachelor's degree because many types of equipment and technologies have to be integrated in such organizations. Irrespective of major, courses in office technology, business law, and human resources are highly recommended for individuals who wish to work in this field. Specialized training could enable individuals to enhance their employability. For instance, those who intend to work as facility managers could take a drafting class to better understand blueprints and facility layout plans.
