General information
Strengthening the partnership between the university and the organization remains the core of the educational policy of many countries around the world. This issue is extremely acute in developing countries since economic progress cannot be achieved without the development of human capital. In this sense, competitive education can be the guaranty to improve the skills of the labor force, and therefore increase their productivity, which will directly lead to the development of the economy. In the Republic of Armenia, the importance of cooperation between education and the labor market is one of the nowadays discussed issues. Governments in their programs have specifically referred to this issue and set specific priorities to achieve it. Nevertheless, it is obvious that we have a serious problem in our country: there is no effective cooperation between professional educational institutions and economic entities. Taking into account, as there is no established partnership traditions and culture between universities and employers in Armenia, and not yet marked the mechanisms and links of the cooperation, the study of the topic is relevant and urgent and proceeds from the priorities set by the RA Government in the field of education.
