We may not realise it but business is part of our
everyday lives whether it is buying a sandwich at
lunchtime from a local shop or a new item of clothing
from a chain store at the weekend. Businesses can
vary in size, capacity and type but each one, to some
extent, depends on another. A common factor is that
the success of these businesses depends on not only
the understanding of how businesses work but also
organisation and team work.
Business and Professional is not just about buying
and selling but incorporates information technology,
managing people, marketing, fi nance and human
resources. These factors are essential to any business
or company as is the understanding on how external
infl uences effect their running. The growth of the
communication industry, particularly email, has played
a major role in how businesses operate. Multinationals
can now locate in a given market place in order to adapt
to local changes in supply and demand but still remain in
constant contact with other offi ces throughout the world.
Travel and Tourism is not only one of the UK’s fastest
growing sectors but also one of the most exciting
and vibrant. Working in this industry provides
endless opportunities, from travelling the world as
an air steward, fi nding some ones dream holiday or
progressing through the ranks to become a top manager.
If you have ingenuity, determination, enjoy working
with people and have a confi dent personality then this
is the right area for you. Courses range from beginner to
advanced with each providing the practical knowledge
and experience for you to succeed.
