It provides a range of business knowledge and experiences that will integrate well with the skills students have already achieved, preparing them to take on supervisory roles in their employment. Additionally, this option can develop skills needed to own, operate, and expand your own business. Students will learn to recognize and act on opportunities to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.
