Exploring a Training Model for Applied Technology Management Talents in Less-Developed Areas

Abstract

This research investigates a training model tailored for cultivating applied talents in technology management within less-developed regions. Recognizing the pivotal role of skilled professionals in driving technological advancement and socioeconomic growth, particularly in underprivileged areas, this study aims to design an effective training approach that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities inherent to less-developed contexts. Drawing on a mixed-methods research design comprising qualitative interviews, focus groups, and quantitative surveys, this study examines the educational needs, skill requirements, and career aspirations of individuals pursuing careers in technology management within less-developed areas. Based on empirical findings and best practices from comparable regions, a comprehensive training model is proposed, encompassing theoretical coursework, practical training, industry collaborations, mentorship programs, and experiential learning opportunities. Moreover, this research explores the role of government policies, educational institutions, industry partners, and community stakeholders in supporting the implementation and sustainability of the proposed training model. Through case studies and comparative analyses, this study assesses the effectiveness and impact of the training model on the development of applied technology management talents and its contribution to local economic growth, technological innovation, and social advancement in less-developed areas. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and industry leaders seeking to bridge the skills gap, foster innovation ecosystems, and promote inclusive development in marginalized regions.
