Title Bridging the Gap between Labor Market and Universities: Evaluating the Role of the Georgian Government in Industry-Academia Collaboration
Summary This study evaluates the effectiveness of Georgian governmental initiatives in strengthening collaboration between higher education institutions (HEIs) and labor market representatives. Adopting both quantitative and qualitative methods, the research analyzes the alignment of government-funded programs with labor market trends and incorporates expert insights for an enhanced understanding of the implementation and outcomes of educational policies.
The analysis also assesses the extent of European HE policy diffusion facilitated by the Association Agreement between the European Union and Georgia, and additionally, examines data exchange practices among different stakeholders of HE. The key challenges identified are associated with university, and graduate employment outcomes, ineffective distribution of governmental funds, university authorization/accreditation procedures, and engagement of labor market representatives in curriculum development.
