About Business
Studying Business can give learners a pathway to a varied career path. Becoming qualified in this area will provide insight into how businesses make money, how companies are structured, how a workforce is managed within a business, and how teams and individual employees are given the training and development they need to succeed.
Studying Business is an excellent idea if you’re keen to take on many different roles within a business or are eager to manage large teams. This is because you’ll enter into the workforce with a broad skill set that can be applied across many different departments and industries.
Studying Business is also ideal for anyone who has an aspiration to set up their own business in the future, as it gives a top-to-bottom skill set of roles within a company. This is great for anyone who will need to wear many hats and take on lots of roles themselves as they start a business or for people who are running small businesses that one or two people can run.
A Career in Business
Starting your career in Business can open you up to many different opportunities and roles. You can find work as a Business Owner or Manager, Management Associate, Office Manager, or Supervisor after becoming qualified in this area. You can also work within the consultancy sector or move into human resource management. Studying in this area can open up many career opportunities in thriving business environments.
Business owners and CEOs almost always have the highest take-home pay out of anyone within the business, so gaining knowledge in this area is great for those who want to pursue lucrative careers. For those who want to focus on entrepreneurship and know enough about business administration to run their own business effectively, further studies in Business can be a great way to achieve your goals.
Best of all, you can pair Business with many other qualifications that can allow you to pivot into other areas. For example, a qualification in Business might give you an overview of Marketing, which you can develop with another course in Digital Marketing. Business is a great base to build more knowledge from, so for those who value flexibility and versatility in their career, Business is an excellent choice.
For those who want to take on additional responsibilities in a company, Business courses can help you get the knowledge you need to effectively manage a team or department. For those who are struggling to move up with a business, or are stuck at a non-managerial level, taking a course in Business can help you take that next step up.
As well as managing teams, you can move into project management and be responsible for improving user experience with your company. As your career progresses, you can build up a bank of project case studies to demonstrate that you can be trusted to move a company forward.
Becoming Qualified in Business
In Ireland, stepping into the world of business can be done without qualification. However, you’ll find that being qualified in this area beforehand will make it much easier to accelerate your career and find business-related jobs quickly. To get the business skills you need to meet the entry requirements of the top positions in the business world, further education through in-person or online courses can be the key.
Good Business courses should include modules that give you an understanding of how companies function, an overview of how a company markets itself, and insight into how different departments function and work together. Courses by providers should also give you the building blocks of good management and leadership skills, allowing you to quickly rise up the ranks within a company.
Some Business courses may put a specific focus on the fundamentals of international business, business management or be designed to give you the tools you need to set up your own business confidently. Focusing on business management or other areas can be a great postgraduate choice or a focus for further study.
After becoming qualified in this area, you’ll be able to demonstrate to potential employers that you have the skills necessary to thrive in the world of business, or be well-placed to set up a successful business of your own.
For Irish learners, taking a full-time or part-time course in business studies can be the best way to break into the top companies in Dublin and beyond.
