Eventos na formação do secretariado

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the knowledge mobilized for organizing events and the qualifications of executive secretaries, verifying the contribution of this knowledge to professional formation. The steps taken were to identify the knowledge required to organize events; to verify the historical context in which events were incorporated into the formation of secretaries; and to analyze the possible contributions of this knowledge to secretarial work. The research was exploratory and descriptive, with data collected from students on the Executive Secretary course at the Federal University of Sergipe. The analyses were conducted using a qualitative and quantitative approach, and it was concluded that the students understand events as a fundamental communication tool for organizations, as well as being necessary and positive for professional development in the field of secretarial work. The respondents expressed confidence in their preparation for the role of event manager, although they recognize the need for continual specialization.
