Abstract: A 16-week office specialist certificate program was developed for Spanish-speaking adults who have the ability and desire to obtain an entry-level office administration position but who have limited English proficiency and basic occupational skills. The program, which is based on the vocational bilingual training model, takes advantage of the native language skills students bring with them to the program and builds on those skills while developing their English language and vocational skills. The program model includes four basic courses: office administration, keyboarding, key calculator math, and bilingual business writing. Each course includes 80 hours of instruction to be delivered over 5 days per week. The course was developed based on input from an advisory board and the results of a needs assessment distributed to employment agencies, bilingual translation services, and corporate human services personnel. All courses use computer-aided instruction, incorporate Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills skills and competencies, and are taught in a self-paced learning center through a combination of instructor-directed lessons and student-selected work. The program's effectiveness is currently being determined through a formative evaluation and will eventually be assessed through a summative evaluation. (Contains 14 references.) (MN)
