Administrative assistant training in Michigan

40 administrative assistant programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

21 schools offer these administrative assistant programs, and Michigan has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Secretaries and administrative assistants do routine clerical and organizational work: answering phones, scheduling appointments, preparing documents and keeping files. High school graduates comfortable with word processing and spreadsheets typically qualify and learn the job in a few weeks of on-the-job training; some community colleges and technical schools offer courses in office procedures.1

In Michigan, 19 of the 40 programs take students without a high school diploma, 18 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 3 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 40 programs here are administrative assistant or office certificate (20 programs), office administration (associate degree, 8 programs), microsoft Office and Excel course (5 programs), executive assistant certificate or course (3 programs), and 4 more of 3 other kinds.

How to pay for administrative assistant training in Michigan

WIOA funding can pay for administrative assistant training in Michigan

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for administrative assistant training

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for administrative assistant training

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Michigan administrative assistant program numbers come from

Which Michigan administrative assistant programs are on this list?

These are the administrative assistant programs Michigan approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Michigan offers.

How the prices and results of Michigan administrative assistant programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
