Administrative services managers perform a broad range of duties in virtually every sector of the economy. |
|
Educational requirements for administrative services managers vary widely, depending on the size and complexity of the organization. In large organizations, however, these managers normally are hired from outside and each position has formal education and experience requirements. Some administrative services managers have advanced degrees. |
|
Demand should be strong for facility managers because businesses increasingly are realizing the importance of maintaining, securing, and efficiently operating their facilities. |
|
Administrative services managers employed in management services and management consulting also should be in demand, as public and private organizations continue to streamline and, in some cases, contract out administrative services functions in an effort to cut costs. |
