As an Industrialist, you know a thing or two about making credits, which means that Commerce is an important skill you should max out. When possible, you can use Persuasion to avoid fighting directly. Learning Payloads is also a good choice so you can carry more items to sell with your ship.

As your background would benefit from crafting, it's adivsable to learn Gastronomy and Special Projects for your survival and offense during exploration.

Industrialists can explore the Settled Systems in search of more resources for their industry. You'll want Astrodynamics to improve your grav drive and learn more about the planets you visit with Astrophysics and Surveying. Having outpost-related skills like Outpost Engineering and Outpost Management can make resource gathering more efficient.

You're a people person. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring with human companions. but more when adventuring alone. (Can't be combined with Introvert.)
Starfield -  Taskmaster
Taskmaster
Occasionally, if you have crew trained in a certain ship system, that system will automatically repair itself to full health whenever it is damaged below 50%. However, all crew cost twice as much to hire.

Having the Taskmaster trait is recommended to maintain your systems even if your crew costs more. When you're out exploring, having Empath and Extrovert together should help boost your combat effectiveness, health, and oxygen with the right companions.
