Public sector: Public sector employees are employed by the government. The government is a huge employer; the public sector can be split into four different categories
Private organisation: the shareholders. This sector includes all the organisations that are making products and services and selling them with the aim of making a profit to invest in the business and to grow further.

Slide 5:
Public Sector
Public sector employees are employed by the government. The government is a huge employer; the public sector can be split into four different categories:
Civil Service
The Civil Service is primarily concerned with the administration of central government.
Local authority workers
Typical jobs within the local authority include those involved in education, social services, waste collection etc.
State agencies
The main groups of employees within this category are in the police service, the fire service and the National Health Service (the NHS).
Nationalised industries
Many of the nationalised industries in the UK have been privatised – floated on the stock exchange, and now owned by private investors.
Private Sector
The private sector, however, is there to make a profit. This profit is for the benefit of the shareholders. The private sector is further broken down into a number of sectors, based on the products and services that are produced.
The financial sector: includes banks, building societies, insurance companies, investment organisations, financial advisers etc.
The retail sector: All the shops that we are familiar with – for example Marks and Spencer etc
The manufacturing sector: covers all the organisations that make things – such as the car industry, organisations making parts for other industries, and those making white goods. Examples would be Dyson, Ford and GKN.
The services sector: includes those who are providing a service to the public. Leisure industries, hotels and restaurants would all fall into this sector, eg Hilton Hotels, Brewers’ Fayre and Premier Fitness.
The pharmaceutical sector: Those that are developing and producing medicines and cosmetic items. Examples include Roche……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...Please contact our team to receive guidance and tutorial on the entire assessment based on your company background and expectations level
