Essential Business Skills BTBM_EBS
Essential Business Skills opens doors to challenging but rewarding choices for opportunities in businesses of all sizes, to gain a mid-level management position. It gives you the opportunity to choose your career path from a rather broad range before you specialize on a focused role in corporations or if you want to consider entrepreneurship. Our training helps you to define what role you may want to specialize in, such as to become a project manager. We recommend that this should be the first orientation to other business courses to help provide the context to fit those other skills and knowledge areas into a bigger picture.
Essential Business Skills is only part of a more complete business management education – yet it is a critical part in terms of being capable of working in a supervisory role. We recommend you have your own computer to work on, so that you can benefit from the Excel™-based tools we have created to illustrate theory with practical and useful applications.
The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the many subjects in this program to help students to understand the purpose behind incorporating specific courses listed in this program outline. Essential Business Skills helps you to develop the business vocabulary that will be used in business courses and it provides the context of how the course materials fit together like the pieces of a puzzle, so it lends structure to the learning process. Each course may refer back to business essentials concepts to remind you of the relevant context for learning specific aspects of business knowledge.
This course gives a theoretical introduction to Business in Canada as a context for ethical conduct in everyday business interactions. This is a foundation for career development and a preparation for understanding the many changes that have affected many Canadians, and how that affects projects. It also offers an introduction to Business and Accounting, and Finance. The reason you learn management skills is that being entrepreneurial and innovative does not rub off on other people who, without facilitation, would not know how to interpret your unique approach to doing business, running a business, or managing projects. We explore franchised businesses according to a fixed, well-documented model to be viewed as an alternative – not as the only opportunity you will ever have of running your own business.
