Your one-year certificate will open doors for entry-level business positions and equip you with the skills you need to be successful in the workplace. The program could also provide you with a pathway into any of our two-year diploma programs in Marketing, Human Resources or Accounting.

Employment Opportunities: 

Upon successful graduation of the Business Fundamentals program, you may expect to find employment in a wide variety of organizations, small businesses, or an administration position in workplaces with a focus other than business.
