Working in business is a great opportunity for a lucrative, rewarding career. Your career can take you in many different directions that give you lots of choices in what you do on a daily basis. Of course, the only way you can take advantage of those opportunities is to make sure you are qualified for them. That's where your education and training come in. On top of the business degree you already hold, there are several training courses that can benefit you in the business world.
Supply Chain Management
Technology has made it easier to manage supply chains today. We can track consumption of resources, restocking networks, and the location of shipments. The idea is to keep procurement lean and mean so that storage and handling costs can be minimized without risking a shortage. For management to strike this delicate balance, they need people who have been trained in the fine art of supply chain management. When you've been certified for that skill, you will once again get a boost in the hiring process. Managers realize that your ability to keep inventories at the optimum level will save the company money and time, creating a more efficient business system.
Project Management Professional
One of the best indicators of your ability to manage business operations is your ability to manage a project. When job opportunities come along, they won't go to just any random applicant. Management will hire and assign the projects to people who have evidence that they can handle the task. Enter the Project Management Professional certification. This credential establishes you as an expert in areas like project planning, project implementation, and project monitoring. With a PMP certification in hand, your name will move quickly to the top of the list in any hiring process, giving you an advantage over other candidates.
Stock Trading Skills
Nothing teaches you what works in business quite like trading stocks. Everything in the management arena is theoretical until you have a vested interest in the outcome. Learning how to trade stocks will teach you good business management skills by conditioning you to what works for other businesses as evidenced by the fortunes of their stock. Enrolling in forex trading training will do just that. You will use your experience in managing a portfolio to apply your understanding of business management, and nothing will reinforce the lessons better than seeing the results in the bottom line. When you understand stocks, you understand business.
Team Leadership
One thing you've seen right away about the business world is that the days of working solo are gone. Nothing happens in any business without a team pushing it through. Management is always looking for the right combination of skills and personalities to make a project successful, so your prospects for getting a job are greatly enhanced by holding some type of evidence that you can work with a team--or better yet, lead one. A certification in team leadership will do just that. Your resume will take on a completely different look to a hiring committee (which is just another team) when it shows that you know how to lead a team. In addition, you'll be at the top of the list to work in those leadership roles from your first day on the job, a great way to advance your career.
Salesforce Management
Another area of leadership in most companies is in managing the sales force. After all, those are the people who form the company's link with the customer base. Good sales personnel are essential to making the rest of the company's efforts successful by bringing in the revenues that power the company. One thing companies always want is sales personnel who will be able to move up to sales management. They can only sustain so many field staff per leader, so they're always on the lookout for potential leaders. When you hold a certification in sales force management, you'll be a stronger prospect not only for getting into an entry-level sales position but also for moving above it.
Your success in applying for a position is built on your qualifications. Carrying some credentials that take you beyond a business degree will move you to the top of the list and give you the best chance at getting hired.

Best Things to Do in Marrakech With Kids by Morocco Family Vacation
Before visiting Marrakech, I worried it might be “too much” for kids. Too busy. Too loud. Too intense. As a mom, those concerns are always front and center. I imagined crowded streets, nonstop noise, and my kids becoming overwhelmed before we even found our rhythm. What I learned instead was that Marrakech can be incredibly family-friendly if you approach it the right way. This city isn’t designed for rushing. It rewards slow travel, flexibility, and seeing everything through a child’s perspective. Once we stopped trying to “see it all” and focused on how our kids were feeling, Marrakech transformed from intimidating to magical. Timing Is Everything in Marrakech One of the biggest lessons we learned was when to explore. Early mornings and late afternoons were magical. The city felt calmer, the light was softer, and the streets were easier to navigate with children. Midday, on the other hand, was best reserved for rest. We learned quickly that pushing through the heat and crowds only led to tired kids and stressed parents. Once we adjusted our rhythm sightseeing in the morning, relaxing at midday, and going out again later everything felt easier. The kids were happier, and so were we. Jemaa el-fnaa: Short Visits, Big Memories Jemaa el-Fnaa was one of the places I was most nervous about. It’s famous for its energy, but that can feel overwhelming with kids. Instead of diving in headfirst, we approached it slowly. We didn’t rush into the main square. We visited briefly, stood on the edges, and let the kids observe at their own pace. They were fascinated by: The musicians and drummers Storytellers surrounded by small crowds Fresh orange juice stands being squeezed right in front of them We treated it like a short experience rather than a long stay. When we felt the energy shifting toward overload, we left — and that made all the difference. Jemaa el-Fnaa became exciting instead of exhausting. Majorelle Garden: A Calm Reset After the medina, Majorelle Garden felt like a sanctuary. The bold blue buildings, exotic plants, and open pathways gave the kids space to explore quietly without worrying about traffic or crowds. For the first time that day, everyone slowed down naturally. It was one of the few places where all of us relaxed instantly. The kids wandered, pointed out plants, and asked questions. I realized how important it was to balance busy areas with peaceful ones. Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride This simple activity became a highlight of our time in Marrakech. The horse-drawn carriage ride allowed the kids to see the city without walking endlessly. They loved the gentle rhythm of the ride, waving at people as we passed by. For us, it was a chance to rest while still experiencing the city. It also helped us understand the layout of Marrakech without stress. Seeing neighborhoods from a distance gave us confidence for later walks. Cooking Classes That Include Kids A short Moroccan cooking experience turned into an unexpected favorite. The kids helped mix ingredients, shape dough, and taste what they made. They were proud of their involvement and suddenly much more interested in Moroccan food than before. It wasn’t just fun it changed their mindset. Instead of being hesitant about unfamiliar dishes, they were curious and excited. Meals became something they looked forward to, not worried about. Riads: Perfect for Families Staying in a riad completely changed our experience. The courtyards provided quiet space after busy days. The fountains fascinated the kids, and the enclosed layout made everything feel safe and contained. Evenings were calm, which helped the kids wind down naturally. It felt personal and peaceful exactly what families need after navigating a lively city. Souks as a Game, Not a Task Instead of serious shopping, we turned souk visits into small adventures. We made it into a game: Spot the brightest lantern Choose one small souvenir each Guess spices by smell This approach kept the kids engaged and prevented meltdowns. The souks stopped feeling chaotic and started feeling playful. What We Chose Not to Do Just as important as what we did was what we skipped. We avoided: Overpacked itineraries Late nights Long walks without breaks We learned that saying no to certain activities meant saying yes to better moments as a family. Planning Marrakech with kids takes experience. Having guidance from the company we booked with helped us avoid common mistakes and choose activities that matched our family’s pace instead of fighting against it. Final Thoughts Marrakech isn’t chaotic when you slow it down. With kids, it becomes colorful, musical, and surprisingly gentle. By choosing the right moments, pacing our days carefully, and listening to our children’s energy levels, Marrakech became one of the most rewarding cities we’ve ever visited together not despite traveling with kids, but because of it.
