Description
This free badged course, Understanding your sector, will help you to understand the difference between sectors, industries and professions. It will also help you to gain the inside knowledge to impress in applications and at interviews and to put together an action plan that is tailored to you.
The course lasts eight weeks, with approximately three hours’ study time each week. You can work through the course at your own pace, so if you have more time one week there is no problem with pushing on to complete another week’s study.
You’ll start this course by considering the way in which the world of employment is structured into sectors, industries, professions, jobs and so on and the differences between these. As you move on, you will investigate the factors that affect organisations at different levels, the job market within different sectors and the sources of information and support available to you. Finally, you will identify how this understanding might be applied to your own situation and devise a practical action plan that is appropriate for you. There will be plenty of examples to help you as you progress together with opportunities to practise your understanding.
After completing this course you will be able to:
outline the differences between sectors, industries, professions and jobs
describe the main factors that affect organisations and their performance
describe different types of employer and the ways in which they recruit staff
identify the principal sources of information to help you understand a sector
reflect in light of this understanding and devise an appropriate plan of action.
