Abstract

The purpose of this study was to suggest measures for improving training cooperation between industries and universities through employer engagement by analyzing the state of employer engagement in training. The current study investigated the state of employer engagement in training and factors that facilitate employer engagement in training. A survey was conducted with 230 human resource managers who worked for companies with more than 300 employees. The study results showed that employers perceived their engagement in training for their employees are consumers rather than strategic partners to plan educational service and make decisions in their communities. However, employers perceived that their engagement in training would be effective because their training engagement can result in positive direct and indirect business outcomes. Moreover, the implementation of training programs based on industry needs was revealed as a critical factor for promoting collaboration between industries and universities and leading to employer engagement. Based on the study results, several suggestions are presented for improving training cooperation between industries and universities through employer engagement.

이 연구는 대학과 기업 간의 산학협력에서 고용주의 교육훈련 참여 실태를 분석하여 고용주의 교육훈련 참여 활성화 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 산학협력 및 고용주 참여에 관한 문헌 분석을 실시하였다. 산학협력의 개념 및 유형과 함께 고용주 참여의 개념, 고용주 참여의 유형 및 대학과 연계한 고용주 참여의 형태, 고용주 참여의 효과 및 고용주 참여의 촉진 요인에 관한 문헌을 검토하였다. 그리고 이러한 문헌 분석 내용을 기초로 조사 도구를 개발하여 300인 이상 기업체의 인사(교육)담당자 총 230명을 표집하여 고용주의 교육훈련 참여 실태에 관한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 고용주들은 자신이 직원들의 교육훈련에 참여하는 것을 지역의 교육활동이나 서비스 계획 또는 의사결정에 참여하는 전략적 파트너로 인식하기보다는 교육훈련과정을 활용하는 입장으로 인식하는 경향이 높아 교육훈련 참여에 소극적인 태도를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 고용주들은 교육훈련 참여를 통해 직·간접적 경영상의 이익을 얻을 수 있다고 생각하여 교육훈련 참여를 긍정적으로 인식하였다. 또 기업 요구에 맞는 교육훈련과정의 운영은 대학과 기업 간의 교육훈련 협력을 활성화하는 동시에 고용주 참여를 유도하는 중요한 요소인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 연구 결과를 기초로 고용주 참여를 통한 기업과 대학 간 교육훈련 협력 활성화를 위한 시사점을 제시하였다.
