The curricula that comprise business psychology training includes coursework in employee selection and development, training in organizations, how people learn, and leadership and its relationship with group effectiveness. Classes emphasize helping employees adapt to new technologies, managing conflict in the workplace and embracing workplace diversity. Training in business psychology teaches students to employ psychological theory to foster an organization's potential.
Business psychology training can lead to careers in occupational counseling, business consultancy, human resources, and employee selection and development. Many business psychologists work for more than one client and address the concerns of an organization on a sub-contracted basis.
Universities offer business psychology training at the post-graduate level and several continuing education organizations offer non-credit classes to students with bachelor's degrees in psychology. Some colleges also offer survey courses in business psychology to undergraduates.
