Misconceptions often exist about the types of jobs that are available in different industry sectors. When hearing the term “industry sector”, the perception of the types of jobs that may be available in a sector can be very narrow. This also extends to the types of skills needed for entry into those jobs.
For students to understand the depth of opportunities for employment and advancement in Atlantic Canada that may be available to them, it is important for them to gain insight into the sectors that are predominant in each of their provinces and what they may have to offer.
