Technical business management assistant career advice: What are the classic careers that benefit from further training as a technical business management assistant?
When we look at classic careers after training as a technical business management assistant, we often focus on the management of a craft business. The classic example is the car mechanic who takes over his father's business (garage) and develops it into a larger company by later expanding it into several garage locations. Other classic positions are those at the interface between technology and business management. For example, a carpenter who wants to manage the sale of tools in the timber industry and develops into a member of the management team. Similar examples are known of metalworkers who become group leaders and then take over the management of sales and customer service and later even become managing directors. A bricklayer first takes care of purchasing materials, then becomes a division manager and finally the owner and proprietor of a painting business.
