Teaches diploma, certificate, or applied degree programs at a college or further education institution, usually in a field they have worked in themselves. Combines classroom teaching with labs, shops, or practicums, and contributes to curriculum review and student assessment.
Teaches undergraduate and graduate courses at a university while carrying out research and publishing in their discipline. Time is divided between teaching and supervision, research and writing, and departmental or disciplinary service.

Designs and revises what gets taught in a course, program, or school system, along with the materials teachers use to deliver it. Works from standards, subject expertise, and teacher feedback, then supports rollout with guides, exemplars, and training sessions.
Varies by employer or jurisdictionEducation and training
Designs courses and learning materials so that people actually acquire the intended skills, usually for online or blended delivery. Works with subject-matter experts to define outcomes, structures content and activities around them, and builds assessment that checks whether the outcomes were met.
Delivers training to employees on systems, processes, compliance topics, and workplace skills. Works out what teams need, runs sessions in person or online, and follows up to see whether the training changed how people actually work.

Builds the digital version of a course: interactive modules, video, quizzes, and the packaging that makes them run inside a learning platform. Works from an instructional design or storyboard and handles the media production, accessibility checks, and technical testing.
Certificate or college diplomaEducation and training
Helps adults and older students who struggle with reading, writing, or basic numeracy build those skills from wherever they currently are. Sessions are usually one-to-one or in very small groups, and progress is measured against practical tasks such as completing forms or reading workplace instructions.

Biomedical engineers apply engineering methods to medical problems, developing devices, implants, instrumentation, and software used in care. The work sits inside a quality-management and regulatory framework, so design history, risk analysis, and verification evidence are part of the job rather than an afterthought.
Environmental engineers design systems that treat water and waste, control emissions, remediate contaminated land, and keep operations within environmental permits. The role blends technical design with regulatory work and field investigation.
Systems engineers hold the whole of a complex product together: requirements, interfaces, architecture, and the evidence that the finished system does what it was meant to do. The role is coordination-heavy and depends on being able to reason across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries.
Project engineers carry technical responsibility for delivering an engineering project, coordinating design, procurement, construction or build, and handover. The role sits between the engineering disciplines and the commercial side, and much of the day is spent chasing decisions and resolving clashes.
Internal auditors work inside an organisation, testing whether its controls and processes actually operate the way they are meant to. Findings normally go to senior management and an audit committee rather than to outside investors, and the work covers operational and compliance areas as well as financial ones.

External auditors are engaged from outside an organisation to examine its financial statements and report whether they are fairly presented under the applicable framework. Work is organised into client engagements with concentrated reporting deadlines, and signing an audit opinion is a regulated act in many places.

Financial planners build long-range plans that pull saving, retirement, tax, protection, and estate considerations into one picture. The role overlaps with financial advising but is planning-led: the deliverable is a written plan with prioritised actions, often coordinated with a client's accountant or lawyer.

Credit analysts work out how likely a borrower or counterparty is to meet its obligations, and what the lender should require in return for taking that chance. The output is a written credit assessment that a committee can challenge, so the reasoning has to be explicit rather than intuitive.

Claims adjusters investigate what happened, check it against the policy, and decide what the insurer owes. People are often dealing with a loss when they call, so the role needs both careful evidence work and the ability to hold a difficult conversation clearly.

Anti-money-laundering analysts review customers and transactions for signs of financial crime and decide which cases need to be escalated or reported. Most alerts turn out to have an ordinary explanation, so the skill is in investigating efficiently and writing up the reasoning so it survives regulatory scrutiny.

Policy analysts research a public problem, set out the options a government or agency could choose between, and write up the trade-offs so decision-makers can choose with their eyes open. Much of the work is reading, interviewing, and drafting, and the output is usually a briefing note, an options paper, or a submission that has to survive scrutiny.

Program analysts examine how a funded program actually runs, who it reaches, whether it does what it was designed to do, and where it leaks time or money. The role sits between the policy that authorized a program and the operation that delivers it, and the output is usually an evaluation, a performance report, or a redesign recommendation.
Bachelor's degreeGovernment, policy and administration
Policy advisors sit close to the person making the decision (a minister, a deputy head, a council, or an executive), and translate analysis into advice that can actually be acted on. Where an analyst builds the evidence base, an advisor judges what is feasible given the legal, political, and operational constraints, and owns the recommendation.

Legislative assistants support an elected representative on the business of the legislature: tracking bills, preparing speaking notes, handling correspondence from constituents, and making sure the member is briefed before a vote or a committee sitting. The rhythm of the job follows the sitting calendar closely.

Government relations specialists represent an organization's interests to government, and read government back to their own organization. The work involves monitoring what is being proposed, building relationships with officials and elected members, and preparing the submissions and positions their employer or client puts forward. Registration as a lobbyist is required in many jurisdictions.

Municipal clerks are the statutory record-keepers of a local government. They prepare and certify the agendas, minutes, and by-laws of council, administer local elections and public notices, and hold the official record that proves what a council actually decided and when.

Economic development officers work for a municipality, region, or agency to help local businesses establish, stay, and expand. The work mixes relationship-building with employers, coordination of grant and incentive programs, and preparation of the profiles and data packages that a prospective investor asks for.
