They have organisations/businesses to run and jobs to do.Their knowledge of the world is rich, but is confined predominantly to their own area of work and industry sector, and thus has an inherent partiality.Employers have limited knowledge of the complex educational choices facing young people.Employers are unlikely to have in-depth conversations with individual students about the students own strengths and interests.
