What Is The Job Outlook In BC?

Legal administrative assistants

Most new job opportunities in the next few years will be to replace retiring workers. While the current supply of new graduates is sufficient, some employers are finding it difficult to find candidates with hands-on practical experience and knowledge in the various areas of legal practice. Legal administrative assistants with training and experience in litigation and conveyance procedures, as well as those with strong computer and communication skills, will be highly sought after.
