Özet

Rekabet düzeyinin yüksek olduğu dünya ekonomisi koşullarında, hem firmalar hem de ülkeler için, nitelikli insan sermayesi bulmak rekabet edebilmek için büyük öneme sahiptir. Diğer yandan, üniversite eğitiminin mezunlar için beceriler ve nitelik kazandırma konusunda en önemli role sahip olduğu açıktır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite mezunlarının beceri düzeylerinin, yetenekli işgücü bulma kolaylığı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmada ulaşılan temel sonuç, üniversite mezunlarının beceri düzeyi arttıkça, nitelikli personel bulma kolaylığının arttığı yönündedir. Bu nedenle, insan sermayesi becerisini ve sürdürülebilir ekonomik kalkınmayı geliştirmek için üniversite eğitiminin kalitesinin artırılması önemli bir politika olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Üniversite ve sanayi işbirliğinin, mezunların optimal akademik ve pratik becerilerini tasarlamak ve bu hedeflere nasıl ulaşılacağını belirlemek için hayati olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır.
