In this study, we investigated factors predictive of disconnection, or not being in education, employment, or training (NEET), among young adults with at least a 2‐year college degree.
Key words: skill development, developing countries, and multinational countries. The scope of this study can be extended by including more MNCs from different home country backgrounds and industries to obtain a broader insight about MNCs’ influence on a host country’s skill system. Future studies may explore what factors determine MNCs’ different approaches. Research limitations/implications- The study focused on MNCs’ influence on skill development of a host country and showed their different approaches leading to different level of influence on development of a host country’s skill system. The firm focuses on skill development of its labour force within the firm boundaries while supporting the VET system in Turkey through donation of technical materials. The Japanese firm, on the other hand, have a predominantly headquarter-driven training and limited connection with the national system. Moreover, the firm follows a skill development strategy connected with the national VET system. It has built a strong collaborative relationship with the VET actors to develop the system. The German firm examined in this study strongly engages with the skill system of Turkey. A total of 31 semi-structured interviews took place with HR managers, technical training specialists, vocational teachers, industry representatives, and actors of governance agencies.įindings- The study shows that MNCs coming from different (developed) home countries adopt different approaches towards development of the host country’s skill system. The aim was to understand to what extent these firms influence and contribute to the development of Turkey’s skill system. The study’s main argument is that MNCs coming from developed countries and therefore presumably embedded in a context of developed skill systems tend to transfer their home countries’ skill practices to the developing host country.ĭesign/methodology/approach- The study adopted a comparative case-study approach in a Japanese and German MNC operating in the Turkish automotive industry. The focus hereby will be on the developing host countries, with the underlying assumption that they are going through the earlier stages of institutional development and therefore their skill systems need more revision and modification to achieve the required development level. The study aims to understand whether MNCs contribute to the development of the host country’s skill system. The key question is that how MNCs influence the host country’s system in terms of development. The skill system in this study mainly refers to vocational education and training (VET). This is also related to their engagement with the host country’s skill system.

With the decision of operating in a new country, MNCs also need to decide how to shape their skill policies for the labour force. Purpose- This study aims to explore MNCs’ skill development strategies in a developing host country. MNCs’ skill development strategies in developing countries: A comparative case study in Turkey
