This study aimed to determine the preferred office skills for secretaries needed in business establishments. There were total of 34 respondents in the said study who were the office managers/business owners/HR of the business establishments in City of San Fernando La Union. The questionnaire was adopted from the study of Hidalgo el al, 2021. The researchers identified the profile of the respondents as to their age, civil status, and educational attainment. Frequency Counts and Percentages were used to analyze and interpret the preferred profile of respondents and their preferred office skills. The Pearson Correlation test was used to determine the skills preferred by employers. The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents preferred secretaries aged between 18-25 and 26-33. Based on educational attainment most of the preferred secretaries are college graduates. It appears that there is no significant relationship between the preferred age to preferred office skills. A training design was developed to upskill the BSOA student in terms of office competencies.
