THE IMPACT OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY ON THE TRAINING OF SECRETERIES IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING

ABSTRACT
The main objective of the study is to ascertain the impact of modern technology on the training of secretaries in institutions of higher learning. The population comprised all the lecturers and the students in HND11 and ND11 studying secretarial studies. The questionnaire was the main instrument for data collection. The mean was used for data analysis. The result of data analyzed showed that most modern machines used to teaching secretaries were not available in the institution. The available ones were not functional and adequate. The study therefore concluded that office technology would pose a problem to prospective secretaries if they are not versatile to using these modern machines in the institution. The uses and operations of these modern machines will help them to face the challengers of present day offices. It was recommended that training institutions of secretarial studies should provide them with modern machines
