Level 1 Business and Commerce
Course Description
Big Question: How does business acumen assist us as we plan our future pathways?
The purpose of this course is to understand how small business owners are influenced by internal and external factors that impact on operational and marketing decisions contributing to the success of their business.
Using a combination of practical and theory, this course will give the learner a foundation for future commercial subjects. Students will have opportunity to answer questions such as: How does a business market itself? What are some of the Human resource necessities? What would it be like for a business to shift their store front online in these challenging times? How does a small business function in the wider economic world? Assessments are a mix of internal projects and external examination.
