business

A business can be defined as an organization that provides goods and services to others who want or need them. When many people think of business careers, they often think of jobs in large wealthy corporations. Many business-related careers, however, exist in small businesses, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and educational settings. Furthermore, you don't need a degree in business to obtain many of these positions. In short, every sector of our economy needs people with strong overall skills that can be applied to business-type careers. There are a wide variety of career areas that exist in business settings.
While many students know they are interested in business, there are so many career possibilities and potential work environments, it can still be very challenging to find a good fit. You have to consider what types of daily activities you want to complete, the size of the organization you want to work for and even the type of organization you want to join. The Career and Community Learning Center is a resource available to CLA students to help them identify a career path which fits well with their unique interests, personality, values, and skills. A business plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals, the reasons why they are believed attainable, and the plan for reaching those goals. It may also contain background information about the organization or team attempting to reach those goals.

Business plans may also target changes in perception and branding by the customer, client, tax-payer, or larger community. When the existing business is to assume a major change or when planning a new venture - a 3 to 5 year business plan is essential.
