Secretarial Studies (Inuktitut)

Administrative assistants (Inuktitut) prepare and edit letters, invoices, publications, and file summaries on the computer using both French and Inuktitut keyboarding methods. They prepare meetings, update files and perform accounting tasks. They answer calls, greet clients in French, English and Inuktitut, respond to informational emails and distribute correspondence. This is a stimulating job that requires honesty, discretion and method. An office job as an administrative assistant requires the ability to communicate both verbally and in writing.
