Abstract

Universities worldwide are tasked with producing employable graduates capable of operating in evolving, complex, and global labour markets. Research into the effectiveness of year-in-industry placements to facilitate such objectives often portrays the dominant actors as students, employers, managers, and (de)centralised placement teams. Framing this as our point of departure, we propose that academics can play a more influential role. Our essay discusses the challenges for academics of designing, delivering, and assessing a year-in-industry placement module. Next, we consider the opportunities for students to enhance their self-perceived employability. We conclude with a call for innovative thinking, knowledge sharing, and empirical research.
学者如何在为期一年的实习中发挥更有影响力的作用:当代批评和行动呼吁
世界各地的大学都肩负着培养能够在不断变化的、复杂的全球劳动力市场中工作的就业毕业生的任务。对行业年度实习的有效性进行研究,以促进实现这些目标,通常将学生、雇主、管理人员和(非)集中式实习团队描绘为主导角色。以此为出发点,我们建议学术界可以发挥更有影响力的作用。我们的文章讨论了设计、交付和评估一年行业实习模块的学者所面临的挑战。接下来,我们考虑学生提高自我认知就业能力的机会。最后,我们呼吁创新思维、知识共享和实证研究。

期刊介绍: Industry and Higher Education focuses on the multifaceted and complex relationships between higher education institutions and business and industry. It looks in detail at the processes and enactments of academia-business cooperation as well as examining the significance of that cooperation in wider contexts, such as regional development, entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems. While emphasizing the practical aspects of academia-business cooperation, IHE also locates practice in theoretical and research contexts, questioning received opinion and developing our understanding of what constitutes truly effective cooperation. Selected key topics Knowledge transfer - processes, mechanisms, successes and failures Research commercialization - from conception to product ''Graduate employability'' - definition, needs and methods Education for entrepreneurship - techniques, measurement and impact The role of the university in economic and social development The third mission and the entrepreneurial university Skills needs and the role of higher education Business-education partnerships for social and economic progress University-industry training and consultancy programmes Innovation networks and their role in furthering university-industry engagement
