This paper seeks to assess the state and capacity of higher education institutions (HEIs) for industries linkages in Anambra State, Nigeria, identifying fostering and inhibiting factors and supports needed to building linkages between HEIs and the industry. Questionnaire and unstructured interview were administered on knowledgeable experts chosen from individuals in the higher education institutions. Excel and SPSS software will be used to analyzed the data. The study reveals that Higher education institutions and industry linkages in Nigeria in general and Anambra State in particular are at nascent stage. Quality of tertiary education, non-relevance of courses, inadequate infrastructure among others have contributed in impeding linkage between the industry and the higher education institutions. There is urgent need for HEIs in Anambra state to develop competences and skills that align with industry, national and regional demand, focusing on the establishment of industrial parks, Centers of Excellence and Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) projects as engine of growth. On its part, Government needs to associate more with the Organized private sector in finding lasting solutions to the: low funding of Nigerian tertiary institutions as this affects the quality of facilities provided for effective teaching, learning and research activities with adverse impact on student performances. The Government needs to enact legislations to encourage entrepreneurs to seek linkage with the HEIs such as tax rebates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
