This subject aims to help all students develop their enterprise skills and then practically apply them to a business idea. Students will begin by learning some business basics, such as the wide variety of self-employment options that exist in modern Australia, and then focus their attention on how to build a successful business plan. The course will also cover how to effectively market and manage a business once it is running, which includes looking at required financial skills.
