What business skills do you need?

To ensure the success of your business, you must first be aware of the types of skills your business requires. These skills can include a broad range of managerial skills as well as technical skills relevant to your industry. In order to identify the skills you need, it's a good idea to access what you have in comparison to what you need. Completing the Business Readiness quiz can help with this.

The department has a number of short, free subjects available on Smart Skills. This might be a good time to complete the preparation for Start-up module and find out how to get the business skills you need.
