Every organization and institution has a business component, so taking business courses at Grand River Technical School provides students with a strong background as they pursue their vocational interests. The business program is committed to helping students develop the skills and abilities needed to achieve career success. The program is open to all high school students from Chillicothe and area sending schools. Students have the opportunity to take one or more business classes throughout their school day.

The successful completion of the business technology program can lead to employment in entry-level positions such as office assistants, bookkeepers, receptionists, and bank tellers.
Because technology is constantly changing, students will need to continue updating their skills. Some may wish to pursue either an Associate's Degree or a Bachelor's Degree in Business on a part-time basis while working. Others may choose to continue their education on a full-time basis, pursuing degrees in areas such as accounting, international business, business administration, business education, marketing, and finance.
A solid foundation in business can lead to unlimited career opportunities, as well as help individuals organize and manage their own financial records.
