Organizational and economic model of public-private partnership in higher education

This article presents aspects of the ongoing research on the possibility of forming a scientific and educational cluster on the basis of a higher academic institution on the local territory, administratively designated as a municipal entity, involving the creation of a unified system of continuing education from school to production. The author’s vision of the organizational and economic model of a scientific and educational cluster based on a university is presented, combining a number of lower-order subsystems into a single ordered system: a subsystem of resource provision; an organizational subsystem; functional subsystem; economic subsystem. The mechanism of interaction between education, science, production and business, which together forms a rational tool for the socio-economic development of a local territory, is considered. The functional load and forms of each stage of the continuing education system within the cluster model are determined. The result is predicted for the beneficiaries of the integration of the state and business in the field of scientific and educational activities in the local territories that form the framework of settlement and economic development at the primary level, in the form of the release of qualified specialists taking into account the needs of the local labor market, creating a competitive environment in the labor market; reducing population migration and securing labor resources in the territory; organizing a continuous process learning and generating new knowledge.
