Description
The innovations brought by the Digital Age and the Industry 4.0 revolution have rapidly changed the criteria that businesses look for in providing human resources. The qualities sought in human resources are evolving towards qualities based on mental abilities, rather than qualities based on physical strength. This situation has made it necessary to adapt to the development of industry, especially in university education. In response to open job postings where many employers cannot provide labor, the number of unemployed university graduates is also increasing. By defining the labor force needs of the industry in detail and the obligation of universities to plan vocational education according to this need, university-industry cooperation has been brought to the agenda. The solution of this important problem has brought about policies aimed at improving university-industry cooperation, which also requires state intervention. There are units such as Technology Transfer Office, Technopark and Continuing Education Center in universities that carry out this cooperation. The establishment of Career Centers to directly connect students and graduates with the industry is one of the important structures in recent years. Career Centers operate as units affiliated with University Rectorates, and many of their activities are coordinated by the Presidential Human Resources Office.
In this study, the role of Career Centers in University-Industry cooperation was tried to be examined in terms of sustainable human resource development. In the research, the widespread impact and efficiency of the activities and sample practices carried out within the Career Center were discussed using secondary source data. In line with the results obtained, suggestions have been presented to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the activities of Career Centers and similar structures in order to ensure sustainable human resources.
