Office Specialist III--Preparation
Students complete the Office Specialist sequence identified locally or progress in the sequence until prepared to transfer into other business courses. Students develop skills in areas including keyboarding, word processing, office procedures, and records management. If a fourth year is needed, the teacher should use simulated activities in the following areas: word processing, spreadsheets, databases, telecommunications, graphic design, and records management.
The tasks contained in the Office Specialist III framework will correlate with many of the FBLA competitive events. Refer to the FBLA website for details or to the task-by-task FBLA correlation.
