In the western world, there’s a lot of reasons as to why a sector can go down: recessions, a rise in technology leading to the removal of a human middle man, and the education to get the skills we need is getting more expensive. Job centers are always going to have their good and bad periods. Whilst some may last longer than others, there’s usually an uplift in skill gain at some point during this lull, which serves to turn a sector around. However, these long reaching effects cannot always be wiped away, and therefore there’s some work sectors that desperately need new, young, and fresh talent.
Engineering
It’s been this way for the past 10 years or so, but it seems traditional ‘skilled labor’ is at a loss for manpower, especially the further you head west. In a world that dictates itself as one revolving around information, with the invention of the internet, there’s a lot more to move into than these kind of jobs. That means across the globe there is a shortage in the secondary sector work world, and that leaves a gaping hole in the service sectors beyond this. It all comes down to the snowball effect.
Engineering has many sectors that have many roles that need to be filled, and that’s what makes it such a sought after skill. For someone who doesn’t know what they need or want to do after leaving school, guidance counsellors often seek to steer people towards this kind of role.
The Finance World
The fact that finance has a whole world revolving around it immediately shows us that some things are going to be lacking when it comes to finding a good working community to service it. Most of the time companies and personal employers are on the lookout for accountants, which is a lifelong skill that can take a university leaver far. However, there is more than that on the roster.
For example, the payroll itself needs people to run it along, and many companies are at a loss when it comes to either not knowing the proper procedure for dealing with it, or not finding the right people. So this makes finding payroll jobs in the finance sector harder than ever, often requiring specialist recruitment teams to match people with the job they need and also have the skill for.
But let’s look on the upside, this creates even more jobs for people to fill and get fairly paid for, and provides an extra element of security for the business world. In seeking to solve a problem, often side solutions can be found along the way.
When seeking to find employment, there’s plenty of reasons to consider a career in either one of these paths, which can be extremely rewarding for someone to sign up for. Bringing these traditional and in high demand skills back into the limelight serves a dual purpose: the customer world is served better, and there’s more jobs for people to find themselves.
