Business and finance

Do you have an instinct for what will sell?

There's an enormous scope for rewarding career paths in business including marketing, accounting, international business, management, human resources and administration.

Marketing is much more than selling and advertising. It also encompasses product development, market research and product promotion.

Accounting and finance officers advise and report on the financial dealings of organisations and individuals. They may specialise in auditing, administration (liquidation and receivership), budgeting and management accounting.

Careers in purchasing involve the supply of goods and services for industrial, commercial or government organisations, while sales roles encompass everything from retailing to real estate.

If you are looking for a career in the business world, TAFE Queensland can also provide you with 'best practice' skills in existing and new business service areas such as e-commerce and telecommunication.
