The creative industries, producing high value-added, creating economic dynamism and having opportunities for competitiveness, have been come to the political agendas of countries since the late last century. While the new economic geography has caused new requirements, the universities as an institutions for educating labours, are expected to contribute to rapidly changing economies at the same rate. But, studies have shown till today, education for creative class is not sufficient to respond the new conditions, are expected. In this study, the reciprocal relation between undergraduate education of creative class and industry, in particular employment practices is analyzed. In setting up the undergraduate programs, industry needs are not the primary target, universities are not only institutions which are educating labour for the industry, but also the needs of the industry are being tried to be provided. With the current education system, there is a gap between the graduates and needs of the industry, for filling this gap, to establish some links between industry and universities is necessary. At present, the demand for the educated labours for the industry is increasing day by day. The expected benefit by this study is to make clear how coherent the relation between undergraduate education outcomes of creative class, who are such an important for urban development, and industry needs, with respect to the development of creative industries in urban areas.

İstanbul’da Yaratıcı İşgücünün Eğitimi ve Endüstri Pratikleri Üzerine bir Değerlendirme

Öz

Yüksek katma değer üretmeleri, ekonomik dinamizm ve rekabet fırsatları yaratmaları, yaratıcı endüstrileri geçtiğimiz yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren ülkelerin gündemlerine taşımıştır. Yeni ekonomik coğrafya, işgücü yapısında yeni gereklilikleri beraberinde getirmiş, hızla değişen ekonomilere, işgücünü yetiştiren kurumlar olarak üniversitelerin de aynı hızla katkı yapabilir olması beklenir olmuştur. Ancak, yapılan çalışmalarla yaratıcı işgücü eğitiminin, yeni istihdam koşullarına ve beklentilere karşılık vermede yetersiz olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Bu çalışmada, İstanbul’da yaratıcı endüstrilerde eğitim ve istihdamın karşılıklı ilişkisi, eğitim-meslek kuruluşları ile yapılan görüşmeler üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Eğitim programlarının oluşturulmasında endüstri ihtiyaçları öncelikli hedef değildir, üniversitelerin sadece endüstriye işgücü yetiştiren kurumlar olmadığı tartışılmakta, bir taraftan da endüstrinin gerekleri de sağlanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Mevcut eğitim sistemi ile yetişen elemanlar ve endüstrinin ihtiyaç duydukları arasında boşluk ortaya çıkmakta, söz konusu boşluğun doldurulabilmesi için endüstri ve üniversiteler arasında bir takım bağlar kurulması gerekmektedir. Hali hazırda, endüstriler için eğitimli işgücüne olan talep her geçen gün artmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında elde edilmek istenen fayda, kentsel alanlar için öneminin bu denli anlaşılmış olduğu yaratıcı sınıfın, bir diğer deyişle yaratıcı endüstri işgücünün, lisans eğitiminden sağladığı çıktılar ile eğitim programlarının endüstri gerekleri ile ne derece uyumlu bir ilişki sürdürdüğünün, kentsel alanlarda yaratıcı endüstrilerin gelişiminin sağlanması çerçevesinde anlaşılabilmesidir.
