    For secretarial practices, it is better to go training institutions rather than academic institutions.

I would suggest taking a free local tyoing class atleast. Check with your unemployment office for programs available. You should consider taking computer concepts class at local technical school. If you're wanting to be a receptionist in a medical facility, you need to get your medical assistants license. It would help to get some little customer service job and work there while your taking typing etc. That way you have some experience to brag about on your application/resume.
