Careers information and sector skills councils
There are 25 sector skills councils which cover all areas of occupation. We have inserted the Connexions Resource Centre Index (CRCI) icon beside each sector, to make it easier to identify the occupational area you are looking for, but some sectors cover more than one CRCI occupational area, so we have chosen the icon which best fits. Also listed are national bodies or organisations which have careers information on the specific occupational areas listed.
