General Business

Description

The General Business Seneca College Certificate Program builds on the topics covered in the Business Studies six-course certificate and includes six additional courses (12 courses total) to further develop the foundational skill-sets required for a career in any industry or business, domestic or international. Introductory courses will provide students with an overview of the Canadian business environment, including generally accepted accounting principles, fundamentals of math for business and finance, marketing approaches and concepts used by and appropriate for profit and non-profit organizations, and new technologies and strategies to further develop proficiency in computer applications for business.

Students will have opportunities to further refine their professional business skills, focusing on appropriate business communication and channels. Students will also be introduced to specialized areas of business including a focus on organizational behavior, business law, leadership processes, economic principles and Canada's mixed market economy, the diverse components of human resource functions in current business environments, and financial and management accounting skills needed to effect plans and decisions.

This certificate prepares students with job-ready essential employability skills required to work in a wide range of positions within financial, marketing, sales and service industries, and it provides a pathway for students interested in building upon these skills through pursuing the Business Ontario College Diploma Program and/or related Degree Programs.
