Summary
The demand for management roles is expected to grow quickly over the next ten years.
There is also an increasing demand for people within these roles to hold higher level qualifications. So, a postgraduate qualification will give you a competitive advantage.
This programme will improve your management ability with course options such as Project Management, Analytics for Managers and Financial Decision Making. You begin with two compulsory courses - Capabilities for Managers, and Research and Enquiry - and then choose another two electives.
The flexibility of this qualification allows you to match your learning with particular employment opportunities you may have identified. In Auckland, this programme is offered by Future Skills Academy due to a sub-contract arrangement with Otago Polytechnic.
