Real skills lead to real opportunities, and this is the real value of business studies...

Business Studies

Business activity affects our daily lives.  It influences jobs, incomes, and opportunities for personal enterprise. The business studies program will build a strong foundation for those who wish to move on to further study and training in specialized areas such as economics, management, international business, marketing, accounting, finance, information and communication technology, or entrepreneurship. It will also provide practical skills for the workplace including computer software, design, teamwork, financial literacy, investment, networking, business report writing, presentation, sales, customer service, and more. 

The fundamental purpose of the business studies program is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to achieve success in secondary school, the workplace, postsecondary education or training, and daily life.
