Best Career Paths

Office Manager

To ensure the smooth operation of their offices, businesses hire highly organised Office Managers. These individuals are usually responsible for managing daily operations, supplies, and communication channels. In addition, they may be responsible for the business's social media pages.

Project Manager

Every business has projects to complete. This could be the role for you if you have an industry you're passionate about. A Project Manager keeps company projects on schedule and within budget. Coordinate with different departments and communicate directly with clients.

Human Resources Manager

A company is made up of people. As they grow, issues and communication barriers arise. A human resource manager must ensure that communication within an organisation is up to standard. They also hire new staff (advertising, interviewing, and arranging paperwork).

With a Diploma of Business, you can become a Frontline Manager rather than a team member. A manager in this role coordinates tasks, motivates team members, and ensures the company's standards are met. Training is also provided by frontline managers.

Personal Assistants support executive staff. Communication, appointments, and travel planning are all part of this exciting career. Personal Assistant jobs are also available at entry-level, allowing you to fast-track your career.
