The signals behind the Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035. The official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
Job ads for corporate general managers are holding steady. About 715 corporate general manager jobs were advertised online in June 2026, up 2.8% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 8,400 job ads, while 10,580 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.

Get Course maps BSB60420 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 1112) so the mapping can be checked. Job advertisement counts come from the Jobs and Skills Australia Internet Vacancy Index and count online ads, not vacancies filled. Enrolment counts come from NCVER Total VET Activity and count people in training, not completions. Outcome benchmarks marked “typical” are medians computed by Get Course across all qualifications at the same level in the same NCVER collection; they are derived figures, not official NCVER benchmarks. Funding rows appear only after verification against the official state program list.
