This sector division can be broken down into the areas of education and training, education and social affairs.

The topic of education and training as well as education and social affairs is an important industry, especially in connection with family and career. It covers everything from midwives, child minders, day care centres, schools, after-school care, training centres to social work and street workers.

For the work as an educator it is recommended to complete a study for social pedagogy in addition to the apprenticeship. People who enjoy dealing with mentally or physically handicapped children should in turn study educational science. In order to manage such institutions, a successfully completed degree in social work is indispensable. These are only a few occupational fields in this industry. More can be found in this section.
