Business and Finance

 

 

There are five specialist business functions: human resources (HR), sales, marketing, public relations (PR) and management consultancy.  All these roles support an organisation and enable it to stay in profit rather than actually creating a product or service.  If you choose one of these careers you may be able to move between different types of business – eg from an HR job in a law firm to an HR job in an engineering company.

If you work in finance you could be involved in investing money, managing it, protecting it or many other possibilities, working with individual customers, corporate clients, investors, shareholders and colleagues.  Finance can roughly be divided into accountancy, investment management, banking, insurance and the actuarial profession, but within each of these sectors there is a wide range of work for school leavers and graduates.  Opportunities to work in finance exist throughout the UK and around the world. Discover the main areas within finance and think about where your skills, talents and interests would fit best.
