What the Employers say....

MIS-MATCH BETWEEN EXPECTATION & ARRIVAL

IMPROVING THE EMPLOYMENT MATCH

Two types of employer & employment;

COMMERCIAL ORGANISATIONS – from global giants to micro businesses & self employed individuals where the motivation is profit & the capital is privately owned - PRIVATE SECTOR

STATE OWNED ORGANISATIONS - generally providing services essential to society where the motivation is equality of access & achieving common standards & the capital is drawn from state taxation revenues - PUBLIC SECTOR
