Stratejik İnsan Kaynağının Geliştirilmesinde Kariyer Planlaması Eğitimi: Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Örneği

Öz

Üniversite öğrencileri, stratejik yönetim düşüncesinde kaynak tabanlı yaklaşım bağlamında, bir ülkede yükseköğrenim düzeyinde eğitim alan kişiler olarak ülkelerin gelecek hedeflerine ulaşılmasında stratejik bir unsur konumundadır. Bu noktada, üniversite öğrencilerinin öncelikle kendi geleceklerini şekillendirme üzerine oluşturacakları kurgular olarak “Kariyer Planları” özel bir öneme sahiptir. Son yıllarda yükseköğretim sisteminde üniversite öğrencilerine yönelik olarak gerçekleştirilen kariyer planlama eğitimlerinde bir artışın olması bu önemin bir sonucudur. Bu çalışmada Cumhurbaşkanlığı İnsan Kaynakları Ofisi koordinasyonunda 2020-2021 Eğitim Öğretim Yılı Güz Döneminde Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesinde müfredata eklenilen “KRY001 Kariyer Planlama ve Çalışma Hayatına Giriş” dersi özelinde gerçekleştirilen süreçler ve elde edilen çıktılar ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır.
