Training in business and accounting principles demonstrates to prospective employers that you are dedicated to learning and committed to understanding what it takes to run a successful business, at any level of an organization.
For example, if you are applying for a job as an Administrative Assistant and you understand the basics of financial reporting, you will be a significantly more attractive candidate than those who do not.
An understanding of business operations allows you to understand not just the job responsibilities, but how and why these responsibilities add value to an organization.
Training in business and accounting opens more opportunities for potential career paths, whether you want to work at a company, become a freelancer or consultant, or open your own business.
It also allows you to accelerate your existing career path. For example, if you work in retail and have had your eye on a managerial role, a certificate in business and accounting vastly improves your chances of a promotion.
