It explores the definitional dilemma, the phenomenon of education and the key theories used in the literature. It analyses the three stakeholders (industry, educators and parents) and their role in the students’ production of employability skills. We’re discussing various aspects of this business. This synthesizes the problems presented by employment in hospitality. This illustrates the difference between the educational establishments, understanding of the students, and business. Finally, we have the ramifications of this study and propose directions for potential studies.
