Universities should educate, employers should train? Or both should be by the universities?
First, the universities should to teach and generate knowledge.
Primary aim of any University is to teach and generate knowledge. To further this aim there must be research and continuous training/education of the its own teachers to gain new technology developed.
In developing countries, there has a gap between academic institutions and industry to train students properly.
University instill knowledge to learners then enterprises groom them to demands of the industry. Like Chinese TVET systems.
Educational institutions need to step up and think about how we can really support training strategies and make education more relevant to the workplace. But both parties need to understand that navigating these fundamental changes is only going to happen through strategic partnerships between employers and educators.
Universities are primarily in the business of positive human development. They focus on enhancing the abilities of our graduates to communicate clearly and effectively, to analyze, to confront ambiguity with clear methods and confidence, to break down problems into manageable parts, to think critically and to question deeply.
The modern workplace, more and more employers seem less willing to invest in training new staff. Instead, they call on universities to tailor curriculum ever more precisely to meet specific workplace needs, and routinely advertise for candidates with two or more years of experience in hopes that another employer has prepared a young person for the demands of the workplace.
Унивеситеты направлены на формирование компетенций, которые потенциальные работники. т.е. выпускники университетов смогут реализовть на практике. Синтез теории и практики в подготовке специалистов - это необходимо! Идеально, когда бизнес готов участвовать в подготовке студентов в виде предоставления мест для практики, заказов на выполенение научных исследований!
University education can transfer the highest standards of knowledge in science and technology to the learners. In addition, entrepreneurial knowledge (private practice, free lancing, self-employment, firm development) can be taught as basic life skill, jointly with professional career management. The training for a specific job can only be done in the practical setting of a workplace.
Education is an important factor for progress of a country and a nation.
Some people think that university education is crucial to get good earning while some people believe that university education has more profound effects on society and individual. This essay will explain both aspects of this issue.
On one side people think that university education is essential for good jobs. Now a days , to get a good job is very competitive. All high ranked jobs like information technology, medicine and law require university education. Another reason for getting university education for settlement is that there are lots of choices for an individual to pick. This gives them a broad spectrum for selection. So it is very important for a person to get university education and to choose an apropiate job.
In Modern workplace, more and more employers seem less willing to invest in training new staff. Instead, they call on universities to tailor curriculum ever more precisely to meet specific workplace needs, and routinely advertise for candidates with two or more years of experience in hopes that another employer has prepared a young person for the demands of the workplace.
When employers do this they risk valuing cookie-cutter workers, eventually hurting their own growth. Businesses – and regional and global economies – flourish when fresh, creative ideas are allowed to flow freely and employees at all levels are encouraged to think critically and be innovative. The university experience enhances self-awareness and personal competencies. This breadth of development provides the kind of intellectual flexibility that enables employees to more easily move from this career to the next, and even into careers we can't yet imagine will exist.

Universities should not be only factories for filling of heads by knowledge. It is also necessary to give the keys to the use of this knowledge. Of course, full-fledged training is possible only in production, but the student must be ready, i.e. his education should be focused not on abstract knowledge, but also on the application of this knowledge in practice. To do this, of course, there must be a close relationship between universities and industry, including feedback that allows adjustments of education according to industry needs.
Usually, education is done by universities, however, they manage to give training courses once a while, Employers mainly focus on training, while they adapt students to be educated in universities.
Hello, university is a place where students are taught to communicate effectively, to analyze, to confront ambiguity with clear methods and confidence, to think critically and to question deeply. It means that the university produces graduates to have a broad knowledge in his/her field of study, so that it prepares them to work. The employers on the other hand are expected to give these graduates a specific job training, and the graduates should be able to put in the knowledge gotten from the university, to either make the learning effective or to come up with a new idea to improve the productivity of the workplace
I have a pessimistic attitude to the influence of universities on education. Why? Because now we live in an era of total degradation of education everywhere and everywhere despite the fact that the number of universities has increased dramatically. In other words, education has become a business, just as medicine has become a business. But what is the solution? In my opinion, the only way out is a high motivation to extract all the necessary knowledge from books and the Internet. To extract knowledge, you only need to have the technology to extract this knowledge. For example, solving a large number of examples and tasks from textbooks will give very good knowledge than passive listening to brilliant lecturers at the best universities in the world. It is well known that the younger generation has stopped reading books and has fragmentary clip thinking. Under these conditions, universities are really turning into a business. There is an opinion that education is not only education itself, but upbringing. However, in today's universities, students are not educated, but at best filled with information. I believe that if tomorrow all universities are closed, a big tragedy will not happen.

Corporate university is already an economic reality, i.e. economic knowledge factories. All factors of production have become knowledge-intense, hence economic and military supremacy is coupled by putting scientific education on the assembly line. This total economization of science is actually a cheap harvest of academic and graduated labor for the modern 'landlords'.
Apt! Universities should also generate research information while employers (industries) should implement research findings.
In my country, education is not identifying talents early as possible. Learners reach university without knowing their talents. So universities are expected to change attitude of learners. Let companies contribute 30% training to undergraduate before employment.
University educates + Train (give exposure through industrial training). However, expectation by employer on graduates, I think, shouldnt be too high, as they have limited time to be exposed with real working environment.
The process of turning universities into job training centres and toward the role employers can play in preparing graduates for jobs.
Employers have a responsibility to be partners in this process. Job training should come primarily from the workplace, building on the educational foundation developed through the university experience.
In Uganda, universities teach and send out students routinely for industrial training. Of course due to the employment crisis, employers have to train every graduate they employ if their expectations r to be met
The role of universities is broad: teaching and research - not mere training, which has many sources today. Employees in any organization need ongoing training to keep it competitive and keep up to date.
Each sector has a different, but connected role, in the development of underpinning knowledge and practice based skills to produce an individual with the necessary competencies to be classed as a Professional. This is normally indicated by membership of a professional institution such as The Engineering Council, Law Society etc (uk based institutions). As one progresses towards professional status, the emphasis on the continued updating of skills, knowledge and competencies becomes the responsibility of the individual. This is termed Continuing Professional Development.
Some specialties require the student to train in the university with the subjects to be able to receive guidance and guidance from the university professor, add expertise in working with the owners of factories.
Dear Colleagues
In our university there is a practice of placing branches of departments at leading agricultural enterprises. It seems to me that this is a good approach to this problem.
Education is an empowering deep and wide academic process of learning to gain knowledge to solve problems, which universities are tasked for. But after some one finishes his/her university education, the place of work might require special technicalaities, which is accomplished by the place of work, as a training or workshop, to know the technicalities of things.
Education is an unending activity which is carried out first by the university and carried on at places of work. That is why educationists like myself advocate a transparent, cordial and collaborative relationship between universities and industries.
Universities should educate to train. Employers should train to educate.
both should be done to integration
Academia-Industry co-operation and collaboration is the need of hour.Both of these,should complement each other in order to produce an effective manager.
Assuming universities educate and employers train (if that could be suggested), what role would we assign to the family then? Definitely, there should be a role for the family. Can I be right in saying that families therefore ought to teach?
That would seem compelling on the basis that ‘teaching is the process of inculcating moral values, abilities, skills by an experienced person to an inexperienced person in order to ensure positive change in behaviour.’ Again we are told that to teach is to ‘impart knowledge to or instruct (someone) as to how to do something, cause (someone) to learn or understand something.’
Folks, the teach-educate-train nexus sounds interesting!
Learning is continuous. The foundational training called education is done by universities to equip the students/graduates with employers' needs. That education is often holistic. The specifics of individual employer's needs would be handled by the employer through training towards achieving a defined/specific goal. So, to a very large extent, I agree with you. Universities educate, employers train.
Universities should educate the total man (character and learning)., which is the building block for liberation of man from ignorance, superstition and mediocrity while the employer should update the skills of his employees through occasional training.
Universities have the responsibility for character building of students.
The universities should educate the student because to whom much is given much is expected while, the employer should train what is known as training on the job
Very right, as we required good education good employment is also needs for youth.
I think that both are necessary, universities should educate and train, education transforms the human being as such, and training should enable the human being in the performance of a particular trade, of course companies should also train the university graduate.
The University opens horizons to a form of continuing education. Any worker is in the process of constantly improving his technical skills.
