Abstract
This study examined the effectiveness of the 'Youth Technology Transfer Specialist Training Project' for students of natural sciences and engineering colleges implemented using a 2018 revised supplementary budget. The cause and effect research model composed of project satisfaction, results of employment, and start-up. Five factors were developed based on a literature review. A total of 2,363 questionnaires were collected through 66 Industrial-Academic Cooperation Groups participating in the Youth TLO (Technology Licensing Officer) program for an empirical test. SPSS 23.0 was used to analyze the obtained data empirically and verify the hypotheses. The result of the analysis showed that the following five independent factors were significant for the program satisfaction as well as the program satisfaction for the performance of employment and start-up: 1) project operation-related recruitment and selection, 2) training support, and 3) working conditions, 4) control of the project, and 5) activity support. This study verified the level of satisfaction with the program empirically using comprehensive data. In terms of practical implications, improvement of operational programs helps improve program satisfaction, and in turn, results in improvement of employment and start-up of youth to achieve the goals of government.
