Discover the World of Work with Our Industry Sector Fact Sheets
The world of work is full of new terminology and unfamiliar language — especially for students preparing for their next steps.
​
To help, we’ve created 17 Industry Sector Fact Sheets designed to make career exploration simple, engaging, and informative.
​
These fact sheets provide independent, impartial, and reliable insights into different industries, giving students the knowledge they need to make confident, informed choices.
​
Who can use them?
-
School and college careers staff – to guide students in exploring career pathways.
-
Parents and carers – to support young people as they consider their education, training, and employment options.
​
Flexible and accessible
The Sector Fact Sheets can be purchased as a standalone careers resource, or accessed as part of our Let’s Do Business programme.
