Technical Management Specialist

Offered at the Following Campus

Program Overview

The Technical Management Specialist Certificate is designed to build upon a student's previously achieved TCC, Diploma or Associate Degree and add the management component to their education. Learning opportunities will introduce, develop and reinforce students' knowledge, skills and attitudes required to work in the student's current area of expertise. Graduates will receive a Technical Management Specialist TCC. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, management candidates coordinate the people and equipment involved in the organizational processes. Many organizations fill their management positions by hiring from within and promoting from lower levels as job openings arise. Competition for these positions can be very competitive and management education can provide a competitive edge. Students interested in continuing their education and advance their careers may continue their education at the technical college level in the Business Management program. Students may pursue an associate degree or diploma in Business Management. Opportunities for continual educational growth may be pursued at the university level. Collegiate programs in the School of Business with a major in Management are available to those students wishing to obtain a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts in their chosen field or industry. A manager is one who supervises others, decides the daily priorities of the organization or office, delegates projects, and coordinates teams to meet the goals of the organization. Managers must have persuasive and clear communication skills, analytical minds, and the skill to evaluate complex relationships among numerous factors. Managers also should exhibit personal qualities such as leadership, determination, motivation, self-confidence, and sound business judgment.
