Man: And do you think these findings are equally important for small businesses?
您認為這些發現對小企業是同樣重要的嗎?
Woman: Yes, even more so.
是的,甚至更重要。
Small businesses don't have time to train people to the extent that large organisations do.
和大企業相比,小企業沒有那么多時間培訓員工。
It's particularly important to them that graduates have the skills to go into the workplace and make a contribution right from the start.
對于他們來說,尤為重要的是:畢業生具備走上工作崗位的能力,并且從一開始就能做出貢獻。
I think the key skills that we've already talked about, together with work experience, are very helpful in that situation.
我認為,我們已經談論過的重要的技能,再加上工作經驗,這些在這一情況下是很有幫助的。
Man: And finally, what should the business community and the world of higher education be aiming for in the future?
最后,商界和高等教育界未來應該朝什么方向發展呢?
Woman: We need to work more in partnership and that requires effort, I think, on both sides.
我認為,我們需要加強合作,而這是需要努力的——雙方的努力。
Business leaders could invest more time in higher education, for example sitting on higher education councils, collaborating on research.
商業領袖可以把更多的時間投入到高等教育上,比如參加高等教育委員會議、合作研究等。
Some of this goes on already, but more links are needed.
有些已經開始進行了,但仍需要更多的聯系。
And while business solutions don't apply exactly to higher education, we still have a lot to offer in terms of the management of change.
盡管商業解決方案不能完全適用于高等教育,但在應變管理方面,我們依然有許多可以提供的東西。
