Level 3 Business
Commerce is influenced by the cultural, ethical, environmental, political and economic conditions of the day. Issues such as sustainability, citizenship, enterprise, and globalisation are central to both business and the study of business. The knowledge and skills gained in Commerce, and exposure to enterprise culture, will help shape 'creative, energetic, and enterprising' young people who will go on to contribute to New Zealand's economic future. In Commerce, students develop their understanding of business theory and practices in a range of relevant contexts, through experiential as well as theoretical approaches to learning.
This course will only run if there are sufficient numbers.
