Description

This course is a career-oriented learning experience for business professionals participating in corporate, social and public enterprises, including professional accounting firms. It will help in compiling your UC Employability Portfolio, a graduating requirement for the Bachelor of Commerce (see BSNS299). It covers people skills, leadership and followership, curiosity and agility, deep learning, conducting inquiries and analysis, whistle-blowing and ethical dilemmas, and culture. It examines the work of consultants, analysts, innovators, investigators, controllers, etc. This blends with the technical and academic learning in your major, and anticipates the challenging and rewarding situations you will face as your career advances.

The course covers skills, practices and personal and professional attributes in high demand among organisations that employ business graduates or who are clients of consulting firms employing business graduates. The course is about Being a Business Professional, rather than just doing technical stuff (e.g., bookkeeping and accounts, statistical analyses, econometric analyses, processing purchase and sales orders, designing sales literature). The course is essential to getting your professional career off to a flying start.
