Five Signs You Have What It Takes To Start Your Own Education & Training Franchise
Education and training is an industry which has always been embraced in Australia.
After all, this is a country that is renowned for welcoming those who want to learn, it being the world’s third most popular destination for students
With over 800,000 people employed in this sector, education and training is an industry in which most Australians are associated with, whether that be through direct employment or through the use of one of the services this industry provides.
Thus, it is no surprise that there are several franchises finding success here. If you are reading this, then you may be wondering if purchasing one of these franchises could be your next career move.
Only you can provide that answer, but we can lay out some common characteristics of those who succeed in this area.
1. Excellent At Bringing People Together
You don’t necessarily have to be a teacher to work in this industry, but you do have to enjoy bringing those who want to learn together with those that can guide them.
For instance, Tutor Doctor, one of the franchises opportunities we are currently displaying, don't require education criteria or experience. However, you do have to want to match students with professional tutors based upon the students' individual needs.
Thus, if bringing people together in a productive way is one of your passions, then this could be one potential franchise you are suited to.
2. You’re Patient with your time
If you work in the educational sector, patience isn’t just a virtue, it’s a necessity.
That is because you will be bringing people with knowledge together with people who want to acquire that knowledge.
As the old adage goes, "everybody learns at their own pace" and for some that pace is quick than others. It’s complex at the best of times and staying cool, calm and collected when things aren’t going exactly as as you want them to is important.
3. Trends Don’t Pass You
How we educate and train people is constantly changing and our reliance on technology is growing.
To be successful within this industry, it helps if you can spot movements in the market early and become a part of them.
For instance, in a recent analysis of the industry, Frost & Sullivan found that the Australian educational technology (edu-tech) market is expected to grow to $1.7 billion by 2022.
There will be plenty of education franchises taking their piece of that pie!
4. Want to Make a difference
Education and training franchises make a real difference to the communities they serve.
For instance, over 40,000 children from five to 14 years old from 14 different countries are learning programming through Algorithmics'unique educational platform.
This is teaching children an important and transferable skill and making a positive change in their lives.
If you have an interest in contributing positively with your franchise, then this could be the franchise for you.
5. Believe in Potential
If you believe in the power of potential and can see a future where that potential is realised, then this could be the perfect franchise option for you.
When we mention potential, we don’t just mean the potential of students, trainers and tutors; we mean the potential of you and your business.
Being positive in the face of challenges because you believe in your business is an attribute that will keep a potential education and training franchisee in good stead.
