With the internet and advancement of technology there’s been a huge surge in online entrepreneurship and opportunities for businesses to expand where they look to hire talent. With this surge in online communications there has been an increased demand for virtual assistants. A virtual assistant was traditionally an in office secretary transformed into a virtual one. However with the shifts made via technological advancements, the role of the virtual assistant has evolved. Virtual assistants now play roles in marketing, online business management, copywriting, sales, accounting and so much more!
There is a huge opportunity here for our American Samoan community to leverage our high speed internet and train our locals to be fit to become a virtual assistant to entrepreneurs all over the world. The goal here is to help connect our locals with the resources and access to these highly sought after jobs.
