In our Industry Excellence Academy for Business, you’ll get all the skills you need to set off on a rewarding career in Manchester’s booming business and professional service sector. In the past 10 years the business, accountancy and finance sectors have been three of the fastest growing industries in Manchester.

In total these sectors have created 50,000 new jobs in the region in the last decade and there are thousands more on the horizon. As such, a business career in the city promises enormous opportunity to anyone with ambition who is ready to work hard.

All you need to start learning about business is a keen interest in how it works and, as you move up to higher qualifications, you can start to specialise in the areas that interest you the most. You will enjoy work placements and visits to businesses as well as real-world activities like running a small company.

You’ll receive dedicated ‘employability’ sessions with a named Employability Tutor to develop your skills and knowledge. In addition you will be allocated a dedicated Employability and Partnership Coordinator who will support you every step of the way helping to equip you with the skills you'll need to thrive in the workplace.
