AI for Office and Admin Professionals

AI assistants built into Outlook, Gmail, Teams and Slack now draft email, summarize meetings, build schedules and fill in spreadsheets for office staff, so admins who learn to prompt well and check the output carefully take on more of the work that matters.

Why it matters: 9 in 10. US hiring managers say a certificate is good proof that you have the skills. (WGU survey of 3,128 hiring professionals, 2026)
