Grant Writing Webinar Offers Administrative Assistants New Career Options & Professional Development

Sept. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- GrantWritingOnlineCourse.com - Grant Writing Webinars come in all shapes and sizes, but Grant Central USA has developed one especially for administrative assistants that can be access online and on-demand for free. Why administrative professionals you may ask? Well, a large number of grant writers stumbled into the field of grant writing by accident and many were former administrative assistants. This industry is dominated by women (over 80%) and continues to be a growing profession. “Grant writing is more about communication skills and language. Psychologists say women’s brain has more capacity for language function. I guess this might be one of the reasons why women perform better in communication related jobs,” writes Aaliya Agha.

Many grant writers love their work. Myralee Machol writes, “Granted (no pun intended) it’s tedious but as a grant administrator for a small municipality for many years, I found it most rewarding. An analogy for me is like baking a cake — if you follow the instructions – you achieve success. Building relationships with the funders is crucial. I now work in private sector helping municipalities and not for profits seek funding.”

The median expected salary for a typical grant writer in the United States is $55,660. This webinar will help you learn more about the field of grant writing and will provide you with solid information to discover if this is a career path that is a good fit for you. Hear from a former office manager who stumbled upon the field of grant writing and discovered a new passion.
