About the Program

CDI College's Office Assistant program at the Winnipeg campus equips you with the essential skills for any business environment—in under a year—with a hands-on, software-focused approach that prepares you for a wide range of administrative roles.

What You'll Learn

Word processing with Microsoft 365: Word and the full Microsoft Office suite
Business software and bookkeeping fundamentals that offices of every kind run on
Organizational and administrative tasks that keep busy offices moving
Professional communication, resume writing, and the soft skills employers look for in office staff

Career Opportunities

Roles: Office Assistant, Administrative Support Clerk, Receptionist across Winnipeg businesses, non-profits, and government offices

Why it matters: Every organization needs reliable administrative support, and employers value candidates who arrive already fluent in the software and workflow rather than needing onboarding—this program delivers that in under a year.
