Regardless of the industry, every company needs people to account for finances, manage personnel, and sell products. Persons trained in sectors such as business, management, marketing, sales, and financial services (e.g., accounting, banking, investing) will find that their skills are highly marketable. Individuals interested in running their own businesses must master financial literacy and develop skills in mathematics, organization, time management, customer service, and communication. Within this sector, professionals are responsible for maximizing the experiences of customers, generating digital sales and traffic, managing personnel, and developing brands and products. Advances in technology, as well as market globalization and the expansion of banking and investment institutions around the world, will continue to create exciting and challenging career opportunities in this sector for the foreseeable future.
