Toronto is home to more than one-fifth of Canada's business and professional firms. Discover a wealth of varied and exciting career opportunities in the fields of management, finance, human resources, marketing, and logistics. These may include: marketing co-ordinator, marketing research, merchandising manager, product manager, budget analyst, broker, sales representative, financial planner, office manager, HR administrator, advertising account co-ordinator, marketing assistant, account manager, event planner, recruitment assistant, compensation and benefit administrator, training co-ordinator and labour relations administrator.
The program teaches the fundamentals of all business functions, as well as helping you to develop the highly marketable skills of effective communication, teamwork, project management, and strategic business analysis. With a solid foundation in business basics, students may specialize in areas such as marketing management, finance, human resources management or logistics - or they may combine courses in a variety of disciplines to create their own profile - or prepare themselves to start their own business. In the final year, students work in teams to prepare a strategic analysis report for a high-profile business enterprise.
Students are helped to secure a paid or unpaid business placement, where they practice their skills during an 84-hour assignment. This adds valuable hands-on experience to their resumé. Close relationships with the business professionals who constantly update the curriculum provide valuable contacts for students.
The Business Administration program can also prepare students to pursue industry designations and professional certifications in addition to their diploma, should they choose to do so. The industry designations/certifications may require further courses, additional exams, related work experience and additional fees to qualify. Visit the official websites listed below to determine the detailed requirements set by the granting bodies of these associations.
