Choose an occupation

• check the employment
sections of newspapers for vacancies

You’re in a one-on-one mentoring session with your new sales representative. You know they’ve got the potential, but your job today is to give them the encouragement they need to perform at their best. Life’s been tough for your new employee, you can see the tiredness on their face, the notebook on the table in front of them, covered in scrawled notes, and their phone is buzzing away on silent in their pocket – but they turn their attention to you and what you have to say.
Your employee will leave today a different person – a person who knows they have the support of their manager. You’ll be responsible for that person’s performance at work, and ultimately their happiness. Every day, you’ll keep it together, and lead the team.
Management is necessary for each and every organisation, and a great career choice for those who love to motivate others and see businesses succeed.
With a course in management, you will learn a range of skills to provide strong leadership, communicate clearly and resolve conflict. You will also develop a knowledge of e-business, industrial relations policies, strategic planning, project management and financial planning.

If you are already a manager or someone looking for a post-graduate qualification that’s fast and effective, then the Australian Graduate Management Consortium (AGMC) is a dream come true!
The AGMC is a unique joint initiative between Charles Sturt University (CSU) and TAFE NSW.
The AGMC aims to offer a university qualification with a practical approach, designed and developed to meet the needs of busy managers. The courses are fast paced and flexible, allowing you to complete each program in one year of part-time study. If you complete the Graduate Certificate in Management (Professional Practice) then the Graduate Diploma of Management (Professional Practice) you will receive an eight subject credit towards the Master of Management.
This means you are only required to complete an additional four subjects to gain Master of Management qualification.
To apply for the Graduate Certificate in Project Management, you must demonstrate one of the following:
• More than five years’ experience in a senior management
position with significant responsibilities and good writing skills
• A diploma or advanced diploma from TAFE or other Registered
Training Organisation plus five years’ work experience, in a supervisory/management capacity
• An undergraduate degree plus two years’ work experience.
A significant number of our students who have completed the Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma have not undertaken a university course previously.
AGMC courses are delivered at the Northern Sydney Institute’s St Leonards Campus.
