Improve your chances for a new career or promotion!

 

This is an advanced diploma program with a focus on the businessperson wishing to further their education in accounting and management.**

 

We’ve chosen modules which will help an intermediate student enhance their accounting skills as well as provide an introduction into the daily operations of a business and what a manager faces in these daily operations.

 

An entrance requirement will be a previous knowledge of accounting, but students will gain a better understanding of what is necessary in the business setting, including financial statements such as the Income Statement and Balance Sheet, as well as how managers use the information on these statements to make daily financial decisions in a business.

It is important to create an opportunity for management training. Our distance format will be an advantage for people already in the business sector who cannot afford time off to upgrade their skills but who will benefit in the form of opportunities for promotions within their current careers as well as migration to new careers in management and financial accounting.

 

This program is in development and we expect it to be enrollable by late Fall, 2008.

According to HRDC & Service Canada, the outlook through 2009 is “good” [NOTE: there is no higher metric on their scale] in that the employment is growing at an above-average rate, the hourly wages are much higher than the average, and the unemployment rate is quite low. The number of jobs is expected to match the number of job-seekers, so the chances of a graduate gaining employment are quite good.
