Course Details

The business services industry comprises 4 main industry sectors – business administration and governance, business communication, business leadership and management and specialised business services. It includes occupations from entry-level administrative and clerical staff to those involved in governance and corporate strategy at the highest level. The skill needs for business services are diverse, and transferable across industries.
Creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills are increasingly important to support collaborative work. Technology allows for collaboration between workers of different locations, contributing to globalisation and increasing diversity among team members.
