Business, Administration and Law

Administration forms the basis of any organisation, whether it's in the Manufacturing, Services, Catering or Construction sectors. There is a large range of job opportunities available and working in this area will give you a feel for the business. Progression from Business Administration can lead to higher level learning or other occupational pathways.

In Business, Administration and Law, you'll work in an office. Depending on how big the organisation is you could work in a large office where you are likely to specialise e.g. in sales, finance etc. You may work in a small office where you will gain experience of a wide range of different jobs. As an Apprentice, you could find yourself working for a multi-national company, a regional organisation or a local business.

Whatever the size, each employer needs the same sort of skills and an Apprenticeship can give you the training and opportunities you need. Apprentices can get promotion from these clerical jobs into management or individuals may go straight in as a management trainee.

Whichever route you choose, there are plenty of opportunities open for career development. In some cases, such as banking or law, you may also be required to take profressional examinations if you wish to progress.

  • Accountancy

    The term covers a wide range of accounting jobs, ranging from administrative roles through to head of finance positions – it just depends on where you work, what experience you gain and how ambitious you are. Once qualified, the sky’s the limit!

    In larger companies, you would usually work as part of an accounts team. In a small business, you may be the only person trained to deal with finance matters like wages and invoices. With experience, you would often take on management responsibilities and more complex tasks.

  • Business and Administration

    Business & Administration has changed. Now recognised as the lifeblood of an organisation, roles within this sector are evolving. You could be a receptionist in a record company, Director of a manufacturing giant or executive assistant to the Prime Minister. The possibilities are endless.

    Business & Administration is a vital component in the success of every organisation. Administrators play a crucial role in organisations by handling day-to-day tasks and making sure the office runs smoothly. They simply cannot exist without it 

    The term ‘administration’ covers roles that involve organising people and resources, including secretaries, administration assistants, data entry clerks and office juniors. Without them, information would be hard to find, meetings would be missed and businesses would be less productive.

    One of the great things about business and administration is that you can work almost anywhere. Administration roles are also an excellent starting point to move into management once you have more experience.
