Program Assistant

Program Assistants typically work for non-profit organizations, corporations, healthcare organizations and educational institutions to ensure programs run smoothly for both staff and participants. They work closely with other employees to develop program schedules, oversee budgeting expenses, connect with event venues and write instructional documents. Their job is to answer phone calls, make copies and update participant files as needed. They may also be responsible for having one-on-one meetings with participants to answer questions and learn more about how they can improve future programs.
