The Administrative Professionals Certificate Program (APCP) is for Mason employees who are in administrative support roles and who want to learn ways to make their job more productive, efficient, and rewarding. Through training and networking opportunities, the APCP gives participants a chance to build or strengthen their network of professional resources. In addition to supporting new admins, the APCP can also help those already in administrative positions to improve their skills, strengthen their resumes, or transition into new positions. Participants will gain insight into Mason's administrative procedures and receive a certificate at the end of the program.
Participants will customize a learning plan based on their job goals. Possible sessions include:
- Scheduling
- Finance/purchasing
- Human Resources
- Communications
To begin the program, please sign up for an APCP Orientation session. Please contact Bridget Peabody at bpeabody@gmu.edu with any questions about this program.
