Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present a model of the role of higher education in the development of future careers. Case study: University of Applied Sciences. The research method is mixed, and the population for this research consists of two groups: the first group of elites (including industrial managers, responsible for educational policies at the University of Applied Sciences, and professors from the University of Applied Sciences), and the second group included students, graduates, and professors from a comprehensive university of applied sciences. The Delphi method and the structural equation modeling method were used to present the model. A qualitative interview was designed, and two scenarios—Karafarin University and meeting the needs of local communities—were selected as future perspectives of a comprehensive scientific-applied university. Then, using the Delphi method, the educational approaches of universities were identified and extracted to develop the required competencies for future jobs. Finally, the model of the role of higher education in the development of future jobs was used, and the approved and adjusted structural equation modeling method was applied
