Overview
What are you doing as part of your apprenticeship as an administrative assistant at the University of Kassel?
As an administrative assistant, you are the first point of contact for internal clients of the university administration and students. After gaining in-depth knowledge of how to handle human resources, student, and financial matters, you will process a variety of issues, apply legal regulations, and provide service-oriented advice to students and others. With the help of IT systems, you’ll complete these diverse tasks efficiently and cost-effectively.
For example, in the Human Resources and Organization department, you’ll learn how new staff are selected and hired. In the Finance department, you’ll learn about financial accounting and post invoices. And in the Academic Affairs department, you’ll learn how student administration works. So you’ll be working closely with people a lot, which requires a certain tolerance for stress and frustration. Friendliness, a respectful demeanor, and strength of character are qualities that will serve you well during your training as an administrative assistant.
