1. WorldSkills UK LIVE Understanding Different Sectors

Across the world there are millions of different businesses, producing, selling and delivering different products and services.
A sector describes a group of businesses that share the same or a related product or service. Sometimes these are called industries.
It is important to understand the different sectors, as this will help you to think about which sector or sectors you might like to work in, what employers operate in different sectors and where there is growth (some sectors are really growing so there are more career opportunities!).
