Pengembangan Pusat-Pusat Pelayanan Berbasis Komoditas Unggulan Sub Sektor Perkebunan Di Wilayah Kabupaten Bengkalis

Adanya indikasi kebocoran wilayah (Regional Leakages) di Kabupaten Bengkalis terlihat dari besarnya bahan mentah dari komoditas lokal yang di ekspor keluar wilayah tanpa diolah terlebih dahulu pada pusat-pusat pelayanan yang ada di Kabupaten Bengkalis. Untuk itu, perlu adanya optimasi pusat-pusat pelayanan berdasarkan potensi keunggulan komoditas unggulan yang ada di Kabupaten Bengkalis untuk meminimalisisr kebocoran wilayah yang terjadi. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah melalui pendekatan input-output untuk menghasilkan komoditas unggulan yang memiliki keterkaitan antar komoditas sehingga dapat mendorong perekonomian dan menghasilkan nilai tambah. Selain itu, metode yang digunakan dengan pendekatan analisa kualitatif untuk mengetahu aliran nilai tambah komoditas unggulan, faktor yang menyebabkan kebocoran wilayah dan arahan pengembanagn pusat-pusat pelayanan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa salah satu komoditas unggulan di Kabupaten Bengkalis adalah kelapa sawit. Berdasarkan aliran komoditas kelapa sawit melalui petani, distributor dan pabrik pengolahan menunjukkan bahwa beberapa pusat pelayanan belum berfungsi optimal seperti Pusat pelayanan Buruk bakul dan Bengkalis.

Reflections on a degree initiative: the UK's Birmingham Royal Ballet dancers enter the University of Birmingham

This paper provides an opportunity to share experiences and perceptions of the first 5 years of a degree programme for professional dancers. A partnership developed in the mid-1990s between the UK's Birmingham Royal Ballet and the University of Birmingham, Westhill (now School of Education), to provide a part-time, post-experience, flexible study programme for full-time Company dancers. This is the first 'company customised' higher education programme to dovetail studies around rehearsal, performance and touring schedules. Methodology is based on a narrative by the author, informed by ongoing internal and external evaluations, in-depth interviews with dancers and Company managers, documentation and secondary sources. Outcomes indicate that the programme has made a positive difference to the Company, to the dancers and to the wider education and dance/arts world

Using Enterprise Education to Prepare Healthcare Professional Graduates for the Real-world

Objectives: Every year, HEIs around the world provide an increasing number of graduates with professional degrees in various areas of healthcare including for example medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and podiatry. In most cases, these graduates will get the opportunity to develop a range of generic transferable skills during their HE. Yet, many of these become self-employed or responsible for managing a business, but are not always exposed to curricula that develop their awareness of the concepts of enterprise and entrepreneurship and their role in developing economies and societies, and, thus, do not have the necessary range of enterprise skills that they will need in the real-world, whether employed or self-employed. This paper investigates the extent to which Enterprise Education (EE) is applied at professional health schools at HEIs to develop graduates’ ‘soft’ and ‘functional’ enterprise skills, and how effective the process of delivering this education is. Prior work: Previous literature mainly deals with the application of EE through business and management schools, rather than professional ones. Yet, there is a call for researching EE and skills with more focus on exploring the methods and objectives of specific disciplines. At the same time, research investigating learning in professional degrees focuses almost entirely on the development of technical skills related to the discipline, without a general perspective on developing a wider range of enterprise skills. Approach: The study draws on a qualitative research study in the pharmacy education context. Personal interviews with pharmacy employers and academics were carried out, and thematic analysis was applied to identify themes and codes. Results: Despite that experiential and interactive learning approaches, which can support the development of graduates’ enterprise skills, are applied quite often at pharmacy schools, the application of these approaches is focused on discipline-related material and, therefore, can only support the development of graduates’ ‘soft’ enterprise skills. However, there appears to be resistance against developing graduates’ ‘functional’ enterprise skills in pharmacy disciplines, especially in light of the lack of awareness of the concept of EE among academics. The study offers some possible opportunities/propositions that could facilitate the development of more enterprising healthcare graduates, while highlighting the importance of raising the awareness of academics in this regard and embedding EE as part of schools’ philosophies. Implication: This study should help professional health schools at HEIs decide more accurately on how to develop their graduates’ ‘soft’ and ‘functional’ enterprise skills, and address the needs of the real-world. Value: This study directs the attention of HEIs to support developing professional graduates who are ready for the real-world, and who can support the growth and success of any organisation whether employed or self-employed

International education and the employability of UK students

A common theme within the literature on higher education is the congested nature of the graduate labour market. Researchers have highlighted the lengths to which many students now go, in response to this congestion, to ‘distinguish themselves’ from other graduates: paying increased attention to university status; engaging in a range of extra-curricular activities; and pursuing postgraduate qualifications. Studies that have focused on the strategies of Asian students, specifically, have pointed to the important place of studying abroad as a further strategy in this pursuit of distinction. Given that there is now some evidence that the number of UK students enrolling on a degree programme overseas is increasing, this article explores the extent to which an overseas education can be seen as part of a broader strategy on the part of British students to seek distinction within the labour market and whether such an education does indeed offer tangible employment benefits
