Exploring Industry Perspectives on Dual Education

Abstract

The aim of this study is to present the operational experiences of dual education at the Alba Regia Faculty of Obuda University, with particular emphasis on the perspectives of corporate partners. The empirical research analyzes responses from corporate partners using a questionnaire-based methodology. According to corporate feedback, dual education contributes in the long term to the supply of skilled labor, the shaping of organizational culture, and the development of operational competencies. However, the implementation of the system poses structural and resource-related challenges, especially in the areas of mentoring and student retention. The findings of the research highlight that the effectiveness of dual education can be further enhanced through closer universityindustry collaboration, more flexible training structures, and targeted competency development.
