The best advice for students not only inspires them but also prepares them for the challenges they will meet when they graduate. One of the challenges of today’s competitive job market is that most employers require a high degree of business knowledge and skills. Non-business majors need to demonstrate to prospective employers that they have the required business skills training. Your students should know that recruiters rate relevant coursework as one of the top skills, knowledge or experience that stands out when they review a resume. As a student advisor, you can help your students understand that completing a business certificate program is an affordable way to prove to potential employers that they have the expected business skill set plus the drive to succeed in today’s business world.
Another challenge facing students today is the need to effectively network and broaden one’s exposure to the business world and current issues. Participating in the UNC Business Essentials business certificate program provides students with opportunities to network with business professionals, acquire knowledge about interviewing and recruiting from business career services professionals and be exposed to the most current thinking from industry leaders in a variety of disciplines. All recruiters value and require this basic business acumen in future employees, and your non-business majors will be able to demonstrate their understanding of this need and meet this requirement with confidence.
UNC Business Essentials was created to help students tackle these challenges. Completing the UNC Business Essentials business certificate program gives non-business majors the indispensable business skills training needed to enter and succeed in today’s job market plus the networking and business world exposure that helps them choose the right career and employer.
