With the global economy becoming ever more interconnected, there is high demand for skilled and qualified leaders who understand the complexity of business in the modern world.

Whether your future aspirations are to become the CEO of a large company, be an integral part of a senior management team or own your own business, a leadership or business management apprenticeship will equip you with the real-life experience to build a successful and rewarding career.

Who would suit a job in business management?

Leadership and business management jobs are becoming increasingly popular because of the depth and breadth of career opportunities they can lead to. While apprenticeships are available from an intermediate level, many in business management are higher and degree level, equipping people with skills and knowledge to understand the functions of a business.

In business management, you’ll be exposed to a range of roles to get real-life experience of the many management functions you could focus your career on. This could include business operations, project management, risk and compliance or people management, to name just a few. 

Many large employers offer apprenticeships as they value the advantages of nurturing employees and developing their skill sets to suit the growth of their business. PwC, Tesco, Network Rail, the BBC and IBM are just some of the larger companies who invest heavily in apprentices. 

A career in business management might be the right choice for you if you aspire to climb the corporate ladder but aren’t sure which area of management you want to pursue yet.
