00:02 Good day, my name is Christina,

00:15 and I'm your commerce teacher.

00:17 Today, we'll be looking at career opportunities.

00:19 For this topic, after this topic,

00:23 you should be able to define what occupation is

00:25 and identify the various types of occupation we have.

00:31 What's a local patient?

00:33 A local patient is any economic activity

00:35 or productive activity, which someone engages in

00:38 to create and produce goods and services

00:41 in order to make a living for themselves.

00:44 Goods and services, what are they?

00:47 The regular things you see out there,

00:49 the biscuits you see out there,

00:51 the chocolates you see out there,

00:52 the cakes you see out there, those are goods.

00:55 Services are what you experience

00:57 when you go to the bank in order to either withdraw or pay in.

01:01 We have three different types of occupation.

01:06 The first one is the industrial occupation,

01:08 the second commercial occupation,

01:10 and the third services.

01:12 Industrial occupation, this involves those who engage

01:16 in physical production of goods and services,

01:19 exchanging raw material into finished goods

01:22 or semi-finished goods or a product.

01:25 Finish goods, those are the ones you see almost any store

01:29 you go into, semi-finished goods,

01:31 those are the ones that needs to go to more processes

01:34 to get to the final production

01:35 where you can actually consume them or use them.

01:39 Example of a semi-finished goods,

01:41 let's take cake, for example.

01:43 You don't just see cake just coming to you.

01:47 It goes through processing.

01:48 It goes to coming to get out different raw materials

01:51 to produce that final goods.

01:53 So the semi-good is like the flower and the sugar.

01:57 Under the industrial occupation,

02:01 there are also three types,

02:03 and they are extractive, manufacturing, and constructive.

02:07 The extractive industry,

02:10 this engages in obtaining raw materials

02:13 and natural resources from the soil and the sea.

02:16 And this kind of occupation involves the farming,

02:19 the mining, the fishing, forestry, hunting.

02:23 Manufacturing, like I said earlier,

02:26 in terms of cake making.

02:28 I believe every one of you see cake.

02:30 It goes through a particular process.

02:32 Manufacturing are concerned with processing

02:34 and toning raw materials which are produced

02:37 in primary industry to finish goods.

02:40 Example of manufacturing companies are the shoemaker.

02:42 The shoes you wear, textile, the clothes you wear,

02:45 your school uniforms, food processing,

02:47 the final food you see in your home,

02:49 verbal production, and plastic processing.

02:52 Constructive occupation deals with activities

02:55 that include assembly manufactured goods

02:57 into usable forms.

02:59 They convert manufactured goods into various forms.

03:02 Constructive occupations, I can say,

03:05 I can tell you that they are all the constructive workers you see.

03:09 When you see people making the road,

03:10 doing the road all over again for you or maintaining the road,

03:13 even the house building, the bricklayers you see all around,

03:16 the bridge construction, at least with thin liggers,

03:20 if you are in Nigeria, you see liggers anywhere.

03:24 Commercial occupations.

03:26 These are referred to people involved in distribution

03:28 and exchange of goods and services.

03:30 Commerce deals with various activities

03:32 which enables goods produced by industrial sector

03:36 to reach the final customer or consumer.

03:39 And these are trading, insurance, banking,

03:42 advertisement, tourism, and transportation.

03:45 Let's take trading, for example, the nearby store in your home

03:50 in your school.

03:51 Banking, at least you've seen different types of banks.

03:53 We have access bank, we have GTV and the rest.

03:57 And advertising.

03:58 The regular advertisements you see on your TV.

04:01 So they help you.

04:03 They help you want that particular product.

04:06 They bring it to you in the finished form.

04:10 Services.

04:12 This involves rendering services to people,

04:14 doing something for a customer, which could be personal or indirect.

04:18 Then the customer pays for those services either directly

04:21 or indirectly.

04:22 Services, let's take teaching, for example.

04:25 You don't see the product where you hear it.

04:26 That's a service being rendered to you.

04:29 Services' occupation are sometimes classified

04:31 into tertiary occupation.

04:33 This is an occupation which provides services to people

04:36 rather than creating the product, like I said, teaching.

04:39 Like I said, teaching.

04:41 They don't give you, this is the product.

04:43 You have to walk towards it.

04:45 You have to offer something to them.

04:47 It's more or less listening.

04:49 You don't see the final product.

04:50 Your final product is actually understanding.

04:53 That's the services being rendered to you.

04:56 Types of service, occupation.

04:58 We have direct service, occupation.

05:00 Direct service includes personal services,

05:03 rendered for direct consumption, and are paid for directly

05:06 by those who enjoy the service.

05:08 Those who engage in this form of occupation

05:10 are one, your family doctor.

05:12 Many of us have this doctor that's in our home we run to.

05:16 Even though there is a bigger hospital or a better hospital,

05:19 instead we stay with this family doctor.

05:21 Those are the people that offer us direct services.

05:24 The Baba, your local Baba, the lawyers in your pre-rens

05:27 complaint, they are also offering direct services

05:32 to indirect services.

05:35 This includes services rendered to general public,

05:38 but they are not paid for directly by the members

05:40 of the public, therefore they involved or they are involved

05:43 in registering indirect services and paid for indirectly.

05:47 For example, like I said, you have your family doctor

05:50 and they are other doctors.

05:52 Your family doctor, you tend to pay him or her directly.

05:55 What's other doctors, you don't pay them directly

05:58 like the doctor for accompanying or the doctor for your school.

06:02 The nurses in your sick be.

06:03 You don't go back there and pay her directly.

06:05 The school has to pay her.

06:07 So that's an indirect service to you.

06:09 The police force and they see the police everywhere we go to.

06:13 The soldier, the custom officers, the lawmakers, they are all there.

06:17 They render indirect services to us.

06:20 We don't pay them directly, but we see their services all around.

06:25 Fathers that determine type of occupation.

06:28 One, natural resources.

06:30 For you to decide on what you want to do,

06:32 you need to check the natural resources available.

06:35 There are materials there for you to do that particular occupation.

06:39 Someone who wants to go into mining cannot come to an open environment

06:43 where they are trading.

06:44 No, he needs to go deeper.

06:46 He needs to go into the forest.

06:47 He needs to go to where there are raw materials.

06:49 Where he can extract something.

06:51 If a farmer cannot just come to the railroad

06:53 and expect to stop planting things,

06:56 he needs to go to the farmland.

06:57 Efficient man cannot come to the road.

07:00 Without, to be able to get anything at all,

07:03 he needs to go to the river.

07:05 So you need to think of the natural resources

07:08 available for you to know the type of occupation

07:10 you're going to do or go into policies.

07:14 Government policies.

07:16 There are different policies on ground.

07:17 Let's take, for example, opening an account.

07:19 You need to be of the age of 18 to be able to get to your BVN.

07:24 So if the government policy restricts you

07:26 from actually achieving a particular kind of occupation,

07:30 you won't be able to do that in that environment.

07:33 So number three, salary and wages.

07:36 Of course, nobody wants to do a very big job

07:38 and get paid peanuts.

07:40 You want to do something and you get value for your money.

07:44 Industrial hazard.

07:45 The risk and safety involved.

07:47 If you know you're not ready to take risk,

07:48 of course you're going to work in a factory.

07:51 So those are things that actually help you know

07:53 what type of employment to go into or type of occupation

07:56 to actually go into.

07:58 Requirements for different types of career.

08:01 One, training.

08:02 Two, skill.

08:03 Three, education and four, interest.

08:07 Let's talk about training.

08:08 You can't just say, I want to be a teacher.

08:11 Without going to the necessary training,

08:13 you need to go to the school.

08:15 You need to graduate and you need to go to other schools,

08:18 other training skills.

08:20 Let's go back into baking like I said.

08:23 For you to be able to know to bake,

08:24 you need to know that there are certain things to do.

08:27 There are certain measurements to go through.

08:29 There are certain temperatures to actually experience

08:32 what the product will come out of the right way.

08:36 Education, without education in this country,

08:38 you can actually achieve nothing.

08:41 It's like the basis for anything you want to go to.

08:44 If you're going to be, even if you're going to be a business

08:47 woman, you need to know what one plus one is.

08:50 So you need the educational background to get into it.

08:53 Interest.

08:54 Interest matters a lot.

08:56 If your interest is into buying and selling,

08:59 working in a banking hall will not be fulfilling for you.

09:02 You will get this courage and at the end of the day,

09:04 you will not be able to deliver when your main to deliver.

09:08 Now, the diagram here shows the breakdown

09:11 of everything that has been said earlier.

09:13 Occupation, like I said, divided into three.

09:15 That's the industrial, the commercial, and the services.

09:18 The industrial is divided into three.

09:20 That's extractive, manufacturing, and constructive.

09:24 On the extractive, we have the farming, the fishing,

09:27 the mining.

09:28 On the manufacturing, we can find the food production,

09:31 the textile, the bug making, the industrial work.

09:35 Constructive has to do with welding, bridge making,

09:38 road making, like I said earlier, what you see on the road.

09:41 You, of course, when you can tell the difference,

09:43 when the road has been done and the road has not been done,

09:46 plombing, we have our toilets and our kitchen.

09:50 We need all of that.

09:52 Commercial work, those are trade and it's to treat.

09:58 On that trade, we have the importance, the exporting,

10:01 the wholesaling, the retailing, is to treat

10:04 what helps your trade go bigger or better.

10:07 And those are the advertising, the warehouses,

10:10 babbing, transportation, tourism, communication,

10:14 and insurance.

10:16 On the services, we have the directs, the indirects.

10:19 On the directs, we have the babbing, the stewardship.

10:25 And on the indirects, we have the soldier,

10:27 the doctor, the police.

10:29 So this is a diagram that represents

10:31 the occupational classification.

10:33 So I believe right now you should be

10:38 able to define what occupation is and state

10:41 the three major classification of occupation

10:43 and the career opportunities open to them.

10:45 And I believe this should also help you

10:47 decide your own career paths.

10:50 Thank you for watching.

10:51 I'm Christina.

10:52 See you next time.
