Our society
is presently undergoing some most rapid and widespread changes since
the Industrial Revolution. Community service agencies are having
to deal with reduced government funding and an aging population.
These forces have resulted in new career opportunities with non-profit
community organizations, businesses and institutions.
Professional
training in organizational administration has never before been
more important. Those who manage community agencies are finding
that they require formal training and are returning to College to
take courses relevant to their agencyıs needs. Students needing
to work with people in a variety of institutional and community
settings are enrolling in organizational administration courses
to gain entry into agencies or to start their own businesses. If
you enjoy working with people, helping them organize activities
and accomplish their goals, this could be the training program for
you. Students take a prescribed selection of courses which cover
the areas of communication, service delivery, finance, planning,
management, marketing, entrepreneurship and field work.
