Graduate Management Jobs
If you’ve completed a business or management degree then you may be looking for graduate management jobs and schemes that can train you to be a manager within a certain business. Many large employers are looking for managers including regional managers and this can be a rewarding and fulfilling job with a competitive salary.
Which Degrees Lead to Management Roles?
There are a few degrees that will lead you into management roles, these include business administration, business studies, business management, and a number of postgraduate degrees with a focus on management positions. All of these courses will give you the skillset required to work in various areas of management from human resources to marketing.
Of course, those who start a degree in business management probably have their eye on becoming a manager straight after university.
Management Graduate Schemes
There are graduate schemes available in management for those who want to get a head start on their career. These schemes are usually for a year or two and will give you experience working in different areas of management within a specific company. Many graduate schemes also offer rotations, so you can try out different types of management roles before deciding which one is right for you.
Some of the companies looking for regional managers and offering graduate schemes to train include Asda, Aldi, and Enterprise Rent-a-Car. These are large retail companies which can mean plenty of opportunities to progress and work within their head office.
Gaining Experience of Business Management Jobs
There are a number of graduate business management jobs available. Many of these will be in smaller businesses where you’ll have more responsibility and may even be managing a team from the start. Start-ups are always looking for talented managers to help them grow and scale their businesses.
As a graduate, you may not have much experience, but you’ll have the drive and ambition to learn quickly. Work experience and management internships can be a way to gain this required know-how and make your CV look better for management positions in the future.
Can Graduates Go Straight Into Management?
Yes, graduates can go into management roles, but it’s often better to have some hands-on experience working in the industry first. This could be in a customer-facing role or even working behind the scenes in a team. This is why management trainee schemes are very popular.
