Mastering Business Skills

People say they are in business, but what does that mean? What are the skills needed to be successful in owning a business or working in one? Many of the business skills are life skills that can be used at every stage of life, in any field. 

  • Every activity in life begins with a strategic plan and goal setting; it includes how to implement the plan, what resources are key, how to set and meet milestones, and how to pivot as needed. 
  • Whether in school or not, it is important to know how to work with and lead others: to effectively communicate, set expectations, identify performance goals and achieve them. It includes selecting people to be on their team or to hire them for a business.
  • Every business class must address finance. Where is the money coming from, how is a profit made, and how does the owner/company make money?
  • Time management is a key element to improve performance and reduce burnout, at every stage of life.
  • Target marketing is more than creating brand recognition, it understands the audience and why they need what you have: benefits vs. features.

This business course is interactive, allowing students to practice what they are learning and have fun.  At the end they will be able to write a basic business plan as guides for their future. Additionally, if desired, and time is available they will be able to create a resume for future jobs.

*Course offered only to students from grades 9 to 11.
