What is ASDA?
Administrative Support for a Digital Alberta (ASDA) is an online, 14-week employment training program for permanent residents and naturalized Canadian citizens interested in pursuing careers as administrative professionals. Administrative professionals (sometimes known as executive assistants or receptionists) fill some of the most important roles in any organization, and ASDA will prepare you with the computer and software skills, workplace soft skills, and job search skills to begin your career in this field.
ASDA is offered in two parts:
- 12 weeks of online classes offered every Tuesday (3 hours) and Thursday (3 hours) evening;
- A 40-hour volunteer work experience practicum, which provides work experience for your resume.
