    Public Sector

    January 14, 2021 / 4 Comments

    The public sector is anything that, if you haven’t already guessed, provides services that maintain essential amenities for the general public. This includes anything run or funded by the government. Places such as schools, councils, government departments and the NHS, etc. are included in this. We have split the public sector into two sections with another titled Public Services. Our public services stall looks at more front-line workers that tend to come from a Public Services course. Check it out for more information. If you have any questions, don’t forget to get in touch with us over on Social Media – Links Below We have picked a few areas in…

    Hospitality, Retail & Events Management

    January 13, 2021 / 1 Comment

    With current events, you may have heard in the news more about the hospitality and retail sectors being hit hard from the pandemic. But maybe you’re not too sure what this really entails. It’s more than just the waiter at a restaurant, the guy making your burgers at Maccies, or the “non-essential” retailer struggling to sell their goods online. These sectors are massive and employ millions of people. If you have any questions don’t forget to get in touch with us over on Social Media – Links Below Interested in Events Management?

    Administration & Office Work

    January 13, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Admin work gets a bad rap, and some people think it’s dull, but this is a massively incorrect stereotype! While a lot of work will be done behind a desk or a computer, there’s a lot to get stuck into. If you have any questions don’t forget to get in touch with us over on Social Media – Links Below Need an introduction to what it’s like to be an administrator or an office worker?

    Sport

    January 13, 2021 / 0 Comments

    The human body, the Olympics and your Friday night football something you enjoy doing and learning about? Maybe something in sport will be the thing for you. It isn’t all about playing footy with your mates or becoming a hardcore athlete either! Many sports jobs require a very good knowledge of the human body too, so it helps to enjoy biology a little bit too.

    Education

    January 13, 2021 / 1 Comment

    While education tends to be seen as “public sector” work, it can also be private (think private schools, etc.). Many people think that education is just teachers, but that isn’t true. Many educational organisations include many other roles, such as professional and student support services. These services can be a mixture of working directly with students or more behind the scenes work, such as admin roles, business, finance or marketing and social media. Love education or hate it, the sector is incredibly broad! If you have any questions don’t forget to get in touch with us over on Social Media – Links Below Want to know the reality of being…

    Law

While very academically heavy, working in the legal sector can support fighting injustices by challenging current law or support the fundamentals of right and wrong. If you have any questions don’t forget to get in touch with us over on Social Media – Links Below The sector is large, from criminal cases to business and commercial law.
