Vibrant Gujarat

Subsequent to a huge shift of economic growth and opportunities to emerging economies, particularly in Asia, managing and retaining key talent has become important for sustainable growth. Organizations are being forced to rethink their talent pipeline and transform their HR function to deal with new priorities and risks. The impact of technology and the need for innovation continue to demand new skills in new places. A clear plan for global talent mobility alongside the development of strong local talent is vital. The paradigm shift has also brought new regulator y obligations, transformed our view of pay and incentives, and refocused our definition of employee engagement.

Universities play a key role in developing skilled workers and driving innovation, both of which are important for economic competitiveness. Business leaders recognize the contributions of universities in providing competitive advantages. There are opportunities for mutually beneficial partnerships between industry and universities that can support technological education. Some examples include commissioned research, technology stations, dual appointments of staff between industry and universities, shared capital equipment, and structured training programs. For partnerships to be sustainable, there needs to be a return on investment and clear mutual benefits for both industry and universities.

The document discusses strategies for developing skills in South Africa, including reintroducing apprenticeship-style training pathways. It notes the "missing middle" of technical skills and proposes a stacked qualifications model beginning with short, practical programs leading to occupations like artisan or technician. Key questions are how to generate enough structured workplace learning opportunities through partnerships between industry, unions, government and training providers. The Qualifications, Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCTO) could define occupational standards and qualifications to facilitate this type of skills development.

This document discusses technology absorption and the role of multinational corporations (MNCs) in global technology flows. It makes three key points: 1. Most technology in developing countries comes from abroad, either embodied in goods or as tacit knowledge transferred through interaction. Absorbing foreign technology efficiently requires effort from both enterprises and supporting institutions. 2. MNCs dominate global technology flows and innovation. They concentrate R&D spending and internalize the transfer of newest technologies within their corporate networks. Accessing these technologies is important for developing countries. 3. Countries can attract export-oriented FDI and deepen technology activity by developing human capital, supplier networks, infrastructure, and policies that support linkage between

UoTs can play an important role in developing high-level skills in South Africa. Policies call for improving skills to support economic growth and address skills shortages. UoTs are well-positioned to develop skills through responsive career-focused programs, cooperative education with industry, and applied research. UoTs can offer certificates, diplomas, and degrees to broaden access and support applied knowledge production. Strategic partnerships with industry, FET colleges, and governments further skills development through curriculum collaboration, research, and work-based learning opportunities. UoTs face challenges in balancing qualifications, developing articulation pathways, promoting interdisciplinarity, and focusing on attributes like innovation and entrepreneurship.

The document discusses the European Network for Universities of Applied Sciences (UASNET) and its EDUPROF project from 2008-2011. The goals of EDUPROF were to increase recognition of UAS and their research function, and to create a platform for UAS professionals. Key activities included research, conferences, expert meetings, and developing indicators to profile UAS research. Trends suggest growing recognition of UAS' role and a need to strengthen their position through influence on EU policy and financial support. Moving forward, UASNET aims to incorporate these trends, transition to a sustainable network, and better link UAS internationally to conduct research and education.
