Why Take a Business Class?
Are you facing career or life challenges? Still deciding on a career pathway? Looking to gain essential life skills, like how to solve a problem or prioritize resources? By taking a business class, you’ll learn how to develop a business plan within the career path of your choice that also aligns with your personal goals.
Regardless of what kind of career you pursue — whether you work in the not-for-profit sector, the music industry, or the medical field — you’ll benefit from basic business knowledge that allows you to strengthen your project management abilities. Even if you’re not majoring in business, taking a few classes to gain skills that are applicable to any career is always a good idea.
Business classes teach you communication skills, problem-solving, teamwork, critical thinking, and leadership — all of which are crucial within any professional environment. A general business class, for example, can provide you with a more in-depth understanding of how to address problems in the workplace. It can give you a better understanding of how to approach a sticky situation with a coworker or supervisor.
Acquiring rudimentary business knowledge will also lead you in the right direction with regard to money management — and this skill is invaluable once you’re on your own and must make important life decisions! In fact, any business course you take will help you to develop skills that can contribute to your economic success in the future. Some of these include personal finance, organization, and goal-setting skills, each of which comes in handy when you want to buy a house or car, learn how to budget better, or save or invest your earnings.
Summer is a good time to take in some sunshine while doing a bit of self-exploration and gaining experience in the workplace. It’s also a great time to explore taking classes in subjects you might not have considered before.
Eastern Florida State College offers several different business programs to choose from. Having the flexibility to enroll in a business class at EFSC this summer will enable you to learn from dedicated, highly qualified instructors (while also enjoying the projects and recreational activities that make summer so great).
So why not invest in yourself? You’ll gain valuable experience that you can carry with you for the rest of your life, and at the end of the day, the return on your investment doesn’t get any better than that!
