You’re ready to launch a career. You’ve also been interested in business management ever since you could remember. With so many career options, no wonder you’re interested in it! Let’s take a closer look at some of the awesome careers in business management.

What’s Business Management all About? 

Business Management includes the organisation of all business activities. Usually, this includes the production of some materials and money. Management is in charge of basically controlling most of a business’ resources. 

Is Business Management a Good Career Choice? 

If you’d enjoy having career flexibility, business management is a great choice. The skills you’ll learn while taking a business management course can be applied in multiple contexts. This allows you to fast track your career. 

What Can I do With a Business Management Qualification?

A Business Management qualification can secure you with many career opportunities. It really depends on your own interests. Here are a couple of examples of careers you can pursue with a business management qualification:

  Business advisor – As a business advisor, your responsibilities would include organising assigned business projects, according to your client’s requirements. You’ll also have to meet with clients and perform an assessment of a problematic situation. 

Business analyst – A business analyst’s job typically includes creating a detailed business analysis. In these analyses, they have to outline problems and  solutions for the business. They are also in charge of creating reports. 

Data analyst – These answers vary depending on the type of organisation a data analyst would work with. The key responsibilities are relatively similar though. They include designing and maintaining data systems. Using statistical tools to interpret data and paying specific attention to trends, is also one of the key responsibilities. 

Project manager – The responsibilities of a project manager include planning and leading projects from an idea to completion. This job is usually only available to people who have been in the industry for a long time.

Stockbroker – A stock broker would be responsible for buying and selling stocks on behalf of their clients. They’d also manage their clients’ investments portfolio. They also have to conduct research to identify the value of stocks, shares and bonds. 

What Will I Learn by Studying a Business Management Course? 

You’ll learn a number of topics, as well as work on some of the skills you’ll need in order to succeed in the workplace. These skills include: 

  • Decision making skills
  • Excellenting your communication skills 
  • How to interpret financial statements 

You can learn even more about this educational path by taking a look at our Business Management course. This course is part of our ICB courses, which also include our Office Administration course and Entrepreneurship course. Our Business Management course is divided up in two sections – our NATED courses and our Provider Programmes.
