Course Summary:
Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes designed around the need of both the Apprentice and their employer.
Business administrators possess a versatile array of knowledge, skills, and behaviours that are applicable across various sectors, spanning from small enterprises to large corporations, encompassing the public, private, and charitable sectors. Their responsibilities may entail independent work or collaboration within a team, focusing on the development, implementation, maintenance, and enhancement of administrative services. As they advance, business administrators cultivate essential skills and behaviours conducive to assuming managerial roles.
The role entails aiding and collaborating with various segments of the organisation while interacting with both internal and external stakeholders. Prioritizing value addition, business administrators contribute to the organisational efficiency by supporting different departments, collaborating across teams, and addressing issues as they arise. The adaptability and quick responsiveness demanded enable apprentices to cultivate a diverse set of skills.
