Developing Practical Engineering Training Based on Feedback from Dual Training Partner Companies
摘要
Dual training is a particular form of primary education in Hungary, where students meet the University's requirements for their studies and complete the company's training program by partnering with the institution. Students who achieve specific points in the central admission procedure and are admitted to the relevant NJE degree program while successfully competing for a company can be dual. The training is based on a combination of general theoretical knowledge acquired at the University and additional skills acquired in practice in the company. The effectiveness of the training can be assessed based on several criteria and indicators. For example, by examining students’ non-cognitive skills, labor market expectations, students’ self-reflection, student satisfaction, student motivation, and student drop-out. in the present study, dual education has been represented in a strategic partnership framework in which three partners work together over many years, the University, and the company. For this system to work effectively and satisfy the participants, continuous measurement and monitoring of all three actors is necessary. At John von Neumann University, dual training has been in place for more than ten years, during which time it has been examined in many aspects to determine how effectively the system works. The present research presents the experiences of the last ten years from the actors’ perspective, focusing on the University. The university satisfaction relationship has been mapped, and the results have been used to make recommendations for further improvement.
