Description:

The Business Management Certificate of Achievement is designed for students who are or will be working in a supervisory capacity. The coursework provides students with a broad foundation of information related to current supervisory issues, as well as the ability to practice with "hands-on" experiences. Students learn how to deal with employee issues in courses such as Human Resource Management, Mediation of Conflict, and Interviewing. Students learn to work with peers, through such classes as Building Effective Work Groups, Management of Meetings, and Effective Leadership. Having completed the coursework, students are prepared for a range of issues dealing with managing people and building teams within an organization.

Possible job titles include: Retail Store Manager, Restaurant Manager, and Manufacturing Supervisor.

Entry and second level supervisors and managers are in demand for manufacturing and service industries. The certificate courses are designed to be broad in scope and consequently these skills are useful in many businesses.

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
