Isifinyezo sokuqonda

Ubambiswano lwenyuvesi nenhlangano lubhekana negebe lamakhono kubasebenzi ngokwenza izinhlelo ezisezingeni eliphezulu emikhakheni esafufusa njengesayensi yedatha namandla avuselelekayo. Lokhu kubambisana okunamandla kungakhokhisa kakhulu ucwaningo nentuthuko (i-R&D), kuqubule izinto ezintsha eziqavile, futhi kusheshise ukuthengiswa kwezinto ezitholwe ocwaningweni. Kodwa akukhona konke ukuhamba ngomkhumbi okushelelayo—kunezinkathazo mayelana nokuzimela kanye nobuqotho kwezemfundo, kanye nethuba lokukhulisa ukungalingani okukhona kwezemfundo kanye namathuba emisebenzi.

Umongo wobudlelwane beNyuvesi-corporation

Inhlolovo yango-2020 ye-BCG-Google yembula ukuthi amaphesenti angu-36 kuphela abaholi bamabhizinisi anomuzwa wokuthi izikhungo zemfundo ephakeme zibaqeqesha ngokwanele abathweswe iziqu. Cishe amaphesenti angama-70 abaphendulile anomuzwa wokuthi kufanele kube nokwanda kokubandakanyeka okuphezulu ekuqeqesheni umsebenzi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amaphesenti angama-81 akholelwa ukuthi ukuvumelanisa ikharikhulamu nokuvuleka kwemisebenzi kungaxazulula ukungqubuzana kwamakhono. 

Esinye sezixazululo zokungqubuzana kwamakhono ukubambisana okuphezulu komqashi, ukubambisana ukubhekana nokushoda kwethalente emikhakheni ebalulekile njengesayensi yedatha, ubuchwepheshe bedijithali, ubuhlengikazi, ukuhlela, nokusimama. Imininingwane yalokhu kubambisana iyehluka, kodwa abaqashi ngokuvamile bayavuma ukuqasha ingxenye eqokiwe yabafundi abaneziqu emikhakheni ethile kuyilapho izikhungo zizibophezela ekukhuphuleni inani labathweswe iziqu kuleyo mikhakha. Imisebenzi ehlanganyelwe iyingxenye yalezi zivumelwano futhi.

Ngokusho komtshali zimali wembewu wezinkampani zobuchwepheshe bezemfundo (edtech), i-Emerge, ama-startups adlala indima ebalulekile ekusizeni lokhu kubambisana. Inkampani ilinganisela ukuthi usayizi wemakethe weziqalo ezikhuthaza ubudlelwano babaqashi nenyuvesi uzokhula ngesilinganiso sokukhula saminyaka yonke esingamaphesenti ayi-13.0, sisuka ku-USD $22.5 billion ngo-2020 siye ku-USD $76.3 billion ngo-2030. Amanye amanyuvesi ahamba phambili ekulungiseni izinhlelo zawo ngokuya ngokuvela izimfuno zamathalente ezimbonini. Isibonelo, ukusebenzisana kwe-Coventry University ne-Unipart kuphumele ekusungulweni kwe-UK "I-Faculty on the Factory Floor," okuhlanganisa isikhungo semfundo ephakeme, izimboni, ne-R&D esimweni sokukhiqiza somhlaba wangempela. Kodwa-ke, u-Emerge ucabanga ukuthi amamodeli anjalo anethonya awavamile futhi ngokuvamile anenselele ukunwetshwa.

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Ubambiswano lwezinkampani zasenyuvesi lungasheshisa ijubane le-R&D njengoba izinkampani zivame ukuhlinzeka ngezinsiza ezengeziwe, uxhaso lwezimali, kanye nobuchule amanyuvesi angenabo. Lokhu kusebenzisana kungaholela ekusungulweni okuthuthukile kanye nokudayiswa ngokushesha kwemiphumela yocwaningo, okungaba nomthelela omubi emnothweni obanzi. Izimboni zingaphoqeleka ukuthi zijwayelane nobuchwepheshe obusha namamodeli ebhizinisi ngokushesha, okungase kuholele ekususweni kwemisebenzi noma isidingo sokuqeqeshwa kabusha kwabasebenzi.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwanda okwandayo kokusebenzelana kwenyuvesi nenkampani kungachaza kabusha indima evamile yezikhungo zemfundo ephakeme njengomthombo oyinhloko wolwazi nocwaningo. Njengoba amanyuvesi egxila kakhulu embonini, ingcindezi yokuletha imiphumela yocwaningo olusebenzayo ingafaka engozini ukuzimela nobuqotho bezemfundo. Ukubekwa eqhulwini kocwaningo olusetshenzisiwe ngaphezu kocwaningo oluyisisekelo kungase kuholele ezinhlelweni zocwaningo zesikhashana kanye nokuguguleka kwezindinganiso ezivamile zezemfundo zokuphenya okuvulelekile kanye nokusatshalaliswa kolwazi. 

Okokugcina, lobu budlelwano bungase buphazamise izimakethe zezemisebenzi njengoba amakhono adingwa izimboni eshintsha ngokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe. Abafundi abathweswe iziqu ezinhlelweni ezibandakanya ubudlelwano bezimboni bavame ukuhlonyiswa kangcono ngamakhono asebenzayo nobungcweti obudingwa abaqashi, okubenza babe nethuba lokuncintisana emakethe yemisebenzi. Kodwa-ke, lo mkhuba ungaholela ekukhuleni komehluko phakathi kwabafundi abathweswe iziqu ezikhungweni ezahlukene, okubhebhethekise ukungalingani okukhona ekufinyeleleni imfundo esezingeni eliphezulu namathuba omsebenzi. Ukwengeza, isidingo sabasebenzi abanamakhono akhethekile singabangela ukwehla kwesidingo sezindima ezijwayelekile, okuholela ekwandeni kokwehlukaniswa kwemakethe yezabasebenzi.

Imithelela yokubambisana kwenyuvesi-yezinkampani

Imithelela ebanzi yokusebenzisana kwenyuvesi nenhlangano ingafaka: 

• Ukuthuthukiswa kwemikhiqizo emisha, izinsizakalo, kanye nobuchwepheshe, okungakhuthaza ukukhula komnotho kuwo womabili amazinga esifunda nakazwelonke. Lokhu kukhula kungakhuphula amathuba emisebenzi kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali, futhi kuthuthukise nengqalasizinda.
• Ukuncipha kokugxila ekufundiseni nasekufundeni, njengoba amalungu obuhlakani aya ngokuya ekhuthazwa ukuthi ahlanganyele nabalingani bemboni kunokuchitha isikhathi ekukhuliseni isizukulwane esilandelayo sezazi.
• Isiko lokusungula izinto ezintsha, okuholela ekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu kanye nezixazululo ezinkingeni ezicindezelayo. 
• Ukuhlanganyela okuheha ithalente esifundeni, okuholela ekushintsheni kwezibalo zabantu. Lo mkhuba ungase uphumele ekuthuthelekeni kwabantu abafundile kakhulu, okungase kwandise isidingo sezindlu, imfundo, nezinye izinkonzo.
• Ubambiswano lwezinkampani zenyuvesi lukhulisa umthelela wazo zombili izimboni ezizimele kanye nezemfundo kunqubomgomo yomphakathi, okuholela enqubweni yokuthatha izinqumo enolwazi kakhulu nesekelwe ocwaningweni.
• Lobu budlelwano bukhuthaza ukusebenzisana kwamazwe ngamazwe, ukushintshana ngolwazi, nokwabelana ngemikhuba emihle, okuholela ekuthuthukisweni kobudlelwano bomhlaba kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezixazululo zokubhekana nezinselele ezifanayo.
• Ukusebenzisana kwenyuvesi nenkampani okuphakamisa ukukhathazeka ngokuziphatha, ikakhulukazi uma kukhulunywa ngokungqubuzana kwezintshisekelo noma ukuthengiswa kocwaningo. Imithelela yesikhathi eside yalokhu kukhathazeka ingase ihlanganise ukulahlekelwa ukwethenjwa komphakathi ezikhungweni zocwaningo kanye nezithiyo ezingaba khona ekusabalaliseni ulwazi.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Uma usebenza esikhungweni semfundo ephakeme, isikhungo sakho sibambisene kanjani nezinkampani?
• Lobu budlelwano bungalinganisa kanjani izimiso zokuziphatha kanye nama-ajenda ocwaningo?
