Is a career in business right for you?

What is Business?

A business can be defined as any organised effort to sell goods and/or services and while businesses can sell almost anything, most successful businesses cater to common needs within our society, such as food, shelter, entertainment, health, hygiene and transportation.

Business in Australia

According to the latest industry data, there are currently more than 2.1 million businesses actively trading throughout Australia, 97% of which are small businesses that together employ roughly 4.5 million people.

Australia’s construction industry contains the highest number of businesses, while the financial and insurance service industry is the fastest growing. Australia’s most resilient businesses right now are those in the healthcare and social assistance industry, boasting a 75% survival rate over a four-year period.

Australia’s largest international trading partner is China, with total exports from Australia to China having increased by an average of 17%, each year for the past decade to now be worth over $100 billion annually.

What business courses can I study?

Business courses span the entire spectrum, from in-class business administration courses to business management courses online, so you are sure to find a program to suit your needs right now.

Certificate

A Certificate of business provides a great way to get started, covering the fundamentals of modern business, such as customer service, document preparation, bookkeeping, networking, and marketing. These comprehensive programs can be completed in as little as 6-12 months and are ideal for those interested in entry-level roles as well as for those planning on starting their own business.

Diploma

Studying a diploma level business course at TAFE is a fantastic option for those dreaming of roles with higher pay and greater responsibility, such as office administrator, accounts supervisor or project manager. Here you’ll learn the art of strategic planning, develop your leadership skills, and get trained up in digital marketing, whist getting up-to-speed on the latest laws and regulations, such as work health and safety requirements.

Bachelor Degree

If you have your heart set on high-level management roles, consider investing in a Bachelor of Business. These comprehensive business courses cover all aspects of business operations, from advertising, finance and recruitment through to customer service, public speaking and cultural sensitivity training. Best of all, graduates will emerge fully equipped for management roles in both the public and private sectors.

Finding your ideal training program is easy at TAFE, regardless of whether you’re in search of a small business course, a business management course, or online business courses in account-based marketing. Better yet, every course is designed and taught by qualified experts and you’ll get all the support you need to reach your full potential.

Career prospects in business

After completing a business course, you’ll be equipped with the skills and knowledge to succeed in a variety of roles across industries. Some potential career paths include:

  • Business manager
  • Sales representative or manager
  • Administrative officer
  • Project coordinator or manager
  • Marketing coordinator or manager
  • Finance advisor or consultant

Is a career in business right for you?

With the world of business now more competitive than ever before, only those on top of their game can expect to find success. You will need to be trained up on the latest tools, technologies, and techniques; high-level communication skills are essential, while having a knack for networking, analysis, and customer service is also a must.

Skills and talents in the following areas will also certainly help:

  • Creative thinking
  • Negotiation
  • Public speaking
  • Conflict resolution
  • Multi-tasking

Are ready to take your business skills to a whole new level this year? If so, you’ll find your ideal business course with us. Just compare your many great options, choose the one that suits your style and schedule best, and enquire today!
