"Taking the IT and office administration course was a key factor in helping me re-enter the workforce after a career break to focus on being a stay-at-home parent. The skills I gained from the course gave me the confidence and qualifications to transition back into my career, enabling me to apply modern tools and practices effectively. It provided me with the technical expertise and communication skills necessary to adapt to the evolving demands of the job market. I’m currently working as a part-time Office Administrator.
