Industry of the Week… Design ✐

Every newsletter we give you labour market information about an exciting industry your students should know about.

This week it’s careers in the Design industry!

🌎 It’s HUGE. Nearly 2 million people in the UK are employed in a design-led role.
🇬🇧 The UK is particularly good at it. The UK has largest design sector in Europe.
🧑‍💻 It’s integral for a 21st century business. 70% of brands use daily design in some way.
😯 It’s broader than you think. Design is a creation of an offer that is visible ( e.g. a building, dress, a kettle) or invisible (e.g. a software code, a transport system, a policy).
