What does a Manager do?

Managers deal with a range of complex issues. They are expected to make business decisions against a backdrop of economic and social change, while relating global changes in markets and business activities to local needs.

Managers must exercise strong ethical judgments and be dedicated to a process of continuous learning. Managers are also expected to work well with those around them in a variety of organisational structures from loose teams to highly formalised models. Flexibility and the ability to work with others are therefore critical capabilities.

In addition, managers plan the organisation’s activities, manage and develop staff, and coordinate a range of activities through the effective processing of information to realise business outcomes.

Work Integrated Learning (WIL)

By undertaking these courses you will interact and receive feedback from industry or the community, clients and/or practitioners.
