Baltimore City Community College (BCCC), VBU, and subject-matter experts, have modeled an online training program, completed from the student’s home computer, specifically designed to prepare admin assistants, office workers, and executive assistant position holders to become Virtual Assistants. "Once-a-week sessions are led by instructors in online meeting rooms and all assignments are conducted via the Internet. “Students never leave home to attend classes or face the inconveniences of inclement weather, traffic or other factors associated with traditional class attendance,” comments Deborah Peoples, Director of BCCC's Continuing Education Division.
