PROGRAM AWARD
Program award: Business Management diploma, subject to meeting graduation requirements.
Students who meet the program’s completion requirements receive a diploma from Florida Education Institute.
FEI is institutionally accredited by the Council on Occupational Education. This accreditation applies to the school.
The Business Management diploma is a school award. It is not an associate degree or a separate professional certification.
UNDERSTAND THE WORK
Business work connects people, information, and everyday decisions.
An office assistant may organize records, prepare documents, and help with schedules. A customer service employee may answer questions, record a concern, or explain the next step.
Business operations means the work that keeps an organization running from day to day. It can involve coordinating tasks, sharing information, and helping a team meet its responsibilities.
Managers may also direct other employees and make decisions for a team or department. The responsibilities and experience required depend on the position.
EXPLORE BUSINESS ROLES
Look at the requirements for the work you want to do.
Business training can support your preparation for office, sales, customer service, and operations support work. Compare actual job descriptions to see which skills and experience employers require.
Office manager, team leader, and supervisor roles may require previous experience. A diploma does not automatically qualify you to manage a team.
If you want to own a business, consider the costs, customers, and responsibilities involved. Studying business fundamentals is one part of that preparation.
