Administrative Professionals: Gain an Edge in Your Field

Kim Clark was determined to figure out ways to better support Penn's Office of Gift Planning. As administrative assistant, she wanted to develop new skills tailored to her job and learn how other administrative professionals at Penn managed their careers.

That's when Kim enrolled in the Penn Certificate Program in Administrative Excellence. Now two years later, she's able to successfully tackle any project that comes her way.

"I knew that a professional development program customized for Penn staff would be impressive, and I wanted to meet and learn from other people in my field," Kim said.

By the end of the program, she'd mastered the strategies that help administrative professionals excel—like excellent communication skills, time and stress management techniques, a knack for organizing multiple projects and the ability to work well with others.

"The Penn Certificate Program in Administrative Excellence was invaluable to me. I learned a wealth of information and really enjoyed the opportunity to evaluate my skills and apply what I learned to my own professional goals and needs," Kim said.

The program also helps you develop your professional network and teaches you how to succeed in a decentralized environment like Penn's.
