Course Overview

Employees working in this occupation can be found in most industries; however, major employers are hospitals, and various levels of government. Employment levels in this occupation have generally declined in Ontario over the past decade. With the increasing use of automation technology to perform administrative tasks, along with continued consolidation of functions, demand is expected to be moderated. Job creation will also likely be limited as many employers tend to outsource some of their clerical functions to external service providers.

Most job openings will arise from high turnover, as this is primarily an entry-level position. Employment opportunities are usually available year-round, across a variety of industries. Industries that are more resistant to economic fluctuations, such as health care and educational services, may provide some stable employment opportunities. Candidates with prior administrative experience, strong oral and written communication skills, and significant experience with Microsoft Office Suite and industry-specific software are the most sought after in the labour market. Individuals willing to work weekends and evenings may have better employment prospects.

Accounting clerks generally work in offices, and travel is not required for the job. They must have exceptional knowledge of all ledger accounts, such as accounts payable/receivable, cash, and many others. These clerks may work only with accounts payable/receivable, while others may coordinate various accounts for their companies, and other duties may include working with both customers and vendors.
