REGIONAL TALENT MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COOPERATION: A MODEL PROPOSAL

Abstract

Qualified human resources and management of the human resource stand out as critical values in terms of the country’s economy and future in the age digital transformation and they are also important within university-industry cooperation and social contribution responsibilities which are both on the agenda of Turkish Republic Presidential Human Resources Office and universities. The expression of “qualified human resources” frequently expressed by those working in fields such as labor and employment is the basis of a country’s struggle for existence rather than competition. This study holds the potential to improve its success by supporting the application of yetenekkapisi.org implemented by Turkish Republic Presidential Human Resources Office and bringing student and graduate candidates with employers and universities together. It also introduces the regional talent management application model developed in the context of university-industry cooperation within the framework of talent management literature in human resources. Therefore, the study aims to present a permanent, sustainable model proposal integrating the practice with the scientific theoretical infrastructure that focuses on developing the strategy of regional development and assessment of competencies. It is proposed to develop the strategic management plan for developing and assessing regional competencies, as well as to attract, identify, develop and retain the skills needed by the region through the developed model. In the first part of the study, talent management, talent management process, applications and tools are explained within the historical development process, and in the second part the developed regional talent management implementation model is presented. The last part of the study includes suggestions for future studies.
