Administrative Officers/Executive Assistants Workshop (Blended Instruction) - ADMB7001A001

Description:

Administrative Officers and Executive Assistants (AO/EA) must possess a wide variety of skills and versatility to successfully perform their jobs. All these positions are referred to as “staff” meaning that the positions do not normally have primary supervisory or management responsibilities but rather provide coordinating and facilitation type principal duties to a person who is a manager or leader.

• Describe the role of the AO and EA as an operational lynchpin to aligning divergent priorities and programs around a common set of values or outcomes
• Apply fundamental concepts of federal budgeting processes
• Apply leadership and change management principles to coach and guide staff to project completion and mission accomplishment
• Apply fundamental concepts of federal acquisition processes
• Use simple statistics to complete project analysis, measure group progress, and complete accountability reports
