Training, Placement & Internships

Working remotely using technology encourages businesses to systemise their work practises.

These are examples where we’ve found and placed students.

Virtual Assistants in Office Administration & Online Customer Service

Data entry in MYOB & Xero, emailing and scheduling using Outlook or Google Workspace and the use of spreadsheets & presentation programs in Microsoft Office are a fundamental skills to perform these tasks.

Combined with well planned and documented procedures these tasks can be performed by most people and for most companies. With Cloud based telephone systems and Online Customer Service tools and CRM’s virtual assistants can perform most of their work from home and it’s now normal!

Accounting tasks like invoicing, credit management, bank reconciliations and payroll administration are in the same category but require skills in those accounting programs.
