In times of disruption and uncertainty, staying one step ahead of the next challenge while maintaining relevance and peak performance are constant needs. Research continuously shows that organizations that make human capital investments during down times are better positioned during recovery. An investment in the education and development of yourself and your employees positively affects strategic assets within your organization.
The Business Essentials Certificate Series, offered by the Florida State University College of Business, is a great way to enhance your business acumen and sharpen your professional impact. The certificate series is an ideal supplement to degree programs and offers a more focused approach to foundational business topics.
Organized around four core business disciplines – marketing and sales, leadership and strategy, data analytics and operations, and financial management – these one- to two-day courses offer participants tangible tools and frameworks they can implement immediately within their organizations. Facilitated by FSU College of Business faculty and industry experts, each module is designed to provide rigorous application-based instruction that encourages dialogue, idea-sharing, strategic thinking, individual professional goal-setting and networking.
The Business Essentials Certificate Series is designed for early to mid-career professionals, who are seeking to learn new skills or hone certain competencies.
