Integration of knowledge and technology: development of social partnership between enterprises and educational institutions

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the development of social partnership between enterprises and educational institutions in Kazakhstan. The authors state that there is still a significant gap in research on this issue in domestic sociological science. The term "social partnership" is often analyzed within the framework of labor relations or concerns the interaction of government agencies and non-governmental organizations.

The purpose of the study presented in the publication is to analyze the socio-economic and institutional features of social partnership relations between enterprises and educational institutions in Kazakhstan, as well as to develop practical recommendations for strengthening the role of education and industry partnership.

The authors conducted a detailed analysis of systematic problems in the development of domestic technical education; based on the comparative method, the best international and domestic practices in the field of social partnership at the level of educational organizations and enterprises were identified. In addition, an institutional model of education and industry partnership in Kazakhstan is proposed.

The value of the study is that the implementation of the measures proposed by the authors will significantly improve the quality of training technical specialists, adapt educational programs to modern requirements and create conditions for the continuous professional growth of employees. This will ensure high competitiveness of the domestic economy as a whole. The implementation of the conclusions and recommendations contained in the work will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of social partnership between enterprises and educational institutions in the field of technical education.
