ABSTRACT

Examining a sample of students at the Federal Polytechnic Nekede in Owerri, this research looks at the Office Technology and Management major and the new problems secretaries face in the IT age. A total of 35 students from the Office Technology and Management department, spanning various levels, were the intended participants in the study. To keep sampling bias at bay, the sample study followed the same protocol. This study used questionnaires as its instrument and was structured around four research questions. Based on the study’s mean scores, it’s clear that students majoring in office technology and management need to work hard to adapt to the modern IT landscape and stay up with the rapid advancements in the field. The results showed that students and professionals in the fields of office technology and management face many obstacles in the information technology innovation era, which is changing and adding occupations. As a result, they should adapt to work in IT offices. It was suggested that the Office Technology and Management curriculum include the use of IT equipment to increase students’ familiarity with these tools and to recruit qualified instructors to teach them.
