Business Office Concepts Program

Virtually all projected openings in this field result from the need to replace retiring workers which will create many additional openings in this field.

This is a very large occupational group because most businesses require clerks to ensure that records are properly kept, clients are attended to and office equipment is efficiently used. Most clerks perform general clerical duties, though some have specialized tasks or concentrate on one type of work.

Workers in this clerical group perform a range of duties to keep offices running smoothly. Often their titles describe their main responsibilities (for example, receptionist), but most workers will be involved to some extent in a variety of tasks.

Although their work loads will vary by size and type of office, general office clerks or clerk/typists generally type correspondence, reports and other documents. They also maintain filing, inventory, mailing and database systems, provide general information to clients and the public, and maintain files and records. They may perform routine bookkeeping tasks, such as preparing invoices and bank deposits.
