Conclusion
Once our learners pursue business degree programs, they prepare one for a career in business, which can apply to any sector or industry. Learners would have to decide on the area they want to work in and aim to get relevant work experience. One can gain experience at university through extracurricular activities, such as club membership or taking a role in a society that will develop team-building, business, and finance skills. They should get a part-time job in an area related to a chosen career that provides commercial skills and/or gives one knowledge in business functions and how organizations operate. This could be acquired through industrial attachment, which orients them into business environments.
