When undertaking a secretarial training course, it is important to understand your tastes, abilities, and needs in order to objectively assess your career orientation. In this textbook, you will learn about the nature and requirements of the profession, the job market in this field, the training, as well as ways to develop your skills throughout your career. You will also conduct an interview with someone working in this field to confirm or refute your impressions and to discover a real employment context. Throughout this journey, you will share your reactions to what you learn, and then reflect on your thoughts regarding the chosen training field.

Before becoming a textbook author, I worked as a legal secretary for 18 years. I particularly enjoyed training new secretaries, as there was no specific legal specialization at the time. Eventually, I completed a bachelor’s degree in vocational education and obtained my teaching certificate. I had the opportunity to teach office automation techniques at college level for over 18 years, while pursuing postgraduate studies in school administration, which led to a master’s degree. I also had a highly rewarding experience working as an educational advisor at Cégep à distance, where I contributed to the development and revision of teaching materials. At college, I supported various departments in the revision of their academic programs. As far as publishing is concerned, in 2000, I published an advanced word processing workbook with Éditions Logitell and it was met with great success. This paved the way for further collaboration and after many months of dedicated work with the Logitell team, the textbook Suivi de la correspondance was published in 2017. Several other exciting projects followed and are now also featured in Logitell’s bibliography. This hands-on and demanding experience proved to be particularly rewarding. Together, we poured our hearts into these projects with the aim of providing students with meaningful support in their learning journey.
Alice Daigle-Roy worked for several years as a technical writer and an editorial coordinator at Logitell Publishing. She studied French literature and pedagogy. In addition to her experience in educational publishing, she taught French at the secondary level under short-term contracts. She also provided tutoring to secondary and college students and led support workshops in written French for students facing difficulties. Her main motivation is to design educational materials that help students better understand the subject matter and complete tasks with greater confidence and success.
