The Business Information Worker (BIW) program is a two-tiered, structured career pathway for students who are interested in entering the exciting and diverse career field of office and administrative support. Butte College's BIW pathway is aligned with a California statewide program that collaborated with businesses and advisory committees across the state to identify the most in-demand and desirable knowledge and skills required of today's business information workers. Additionally, this pathway clearly communicates to students what skills they need to be successful in today's businesses, as well as provides a branded BIW pathway for businesses to quickly recognize on resumes. Please visit the ICT-DM.NET./BIW site to obtain more information and locate support resources for this pathway.
Students graduating from the BIW program gain proficiency in business communication, professional development, records management, technology tools used to support businesses to achieve goals, such as Microsoft Office applications, collaboration tools, and desktop publishing applications.
Career related fields for the BIW include office and administrative support workers, administrative assistants, receptionists, office specialists, customer service representatives, general office and information clerks, and file clerks.
