“I can confidently say that I made the right choice when I decided to attend the Office Administration—Executive program at Algonquin College Perth Campus, because of its comprehensive curriculum, accelerated format, and small class sizes. The knowledgeable faculty and staff truly went above and beyond to provide a supportive learning environment, and were invested in students’ success. The program offered a balanced blend of theoretical and practical instruction, with many hands-on opportunities for professional development, which made it a truly valuable experience.”

“The Office Administration—Executive program is the reason I am sitting behind a desk at a job that I love. The program taught me all of the essential skills that I use in the office every day. What stood out the most about my experience at Algonquin College, Perth Campus was the incredible support from all of the staff. There was never a day that I felt I could not seek help or advice from my teachers. Their positive attitudes helped make each and every day in the classroom very enjoyable.”

“Last November, we had an opening for a position in our Special Education Department in Kemptville. From 80 applicants, we chose one of your Office Administration – Executive graduates. We have been impressed with her excellent organizational and time-management skills. Her extensive computer knowledge has enabled her to quickly adapt to her job duties and be of assistance to other staff members. She conducts herself in a professional manner, is very confident in what she is doing, and is always willing to take on new projects and duties. She is a definite asset to this School Board.”

“My experience at the Algonquin College Perth Campus is probably best summed up as caring and compassionate. I have been treated to instructors who are invested in my success as a student, and by a larger staff who is interested in my studies and my ambitions. I’ve learned a lot while at the College, not just in the classroom but in the halls and the cafeteria, about how to be a better student and a more honest, empathetic person. My time here has been an experience I’ll treasure and refer back to throughout my life.”

“The Office Administration Executive program is a challenge; however, you get a lot of support from your teachers. My potential is being redefined. This program has offered opportunities that would not ordinarily come my way; for instance, becoming class representative. We are not even done our first semester and we have gone on a class field trip and organized a campus fundraiser. The opportunity to start networking is there from the start. Our teachers will guide us through until we reach our potential. No one leaves this program the same.”

“We recently had to replace our administrator in our Perth office. From over 100 capable applicants, we chose an Office Administration-Executive graduate. She is an asset to our company and because of her excellent training quickly adapted to our office. Her skills and knowledge make her an excellent administrator. I would recommend employers looking for well-trained staff to look at candidates who are graduates of this program.”

“I recently graduated with honors from an amazing 48- week program at Algonquin College Heritage Institute, located in Perth, Ontario. I worked so many jobs in the service industry, and knew that this diploma program would be the “icing on the cake” as far as making a career for myself. The Office Administration Executive program not only got me to my dream job, it allowed me to find my place and myself in life. I worked hard, and with the assistance of such wonderful, knowledgeable and kind-hearted professors, I managed to be exactly where I want to be. Thank you Algonquin, Perth Campus, for an experience I’ll never forget!”

“Our office hired an Algonquin College graduate to work in our Auto Department. The graduate had excellent organizational skills to help keep the office running smoothly, and extensive computer knowledge that has aided other staff with computer questions and problems. She is very confident in what she is doing and willing to take on new challenges, completing them in a timely manner. We made the right decision when we hired her and would highly recommend graduates from Algonquin’s Office Administration -Executive program to other employers.”
