Armed with practical, hands on experience in a simulated workplace environment, you will have the skills, confidence and qualification to secure employment.

Graduates from the program will be well positioned to develop business ventures and work for themselves and evidence from established Team Academy based programmes suggest that this is a common route taken (46% of graduates are running their own businesses six months after graduation in Jyvaskyla, Finland).

Graduates will also be in a good position to seek employment in a range of careers, due to their demonstrable work experience and business acumen. Practical skills gained on the course will enable you to pursue a diverse range of careers in the business sector, including HR, marketing and project management.

Entrepreneurial skills are increasingly sought after by employers who are developing a workforce that is agile, solution focused, creatively minded and able to respond to the challenges of a shifting economic landscape.
