Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 20, Issue 8
Abstract
In today's global economy, transitioning from industry to academia is popular. Professionals from the corporate sector contribute priceless insights that enhance students' educational experiences. However, this change was not without difficulties. Understanding the goals, experiences, and challenges moving professionals face is essential to ensuring a smooth transition and maximizing their contributions to business education. A qualitative investigation in Cebu, Philippines, explores people's motivations, encounters, and perceived difficulties when making this shift. This study demonstrates how the move from industry to academics guarantees that course material will always be relevant to the changing needs of the business sector. Numerous elements, including andragogical knowledge acquisition, coworker support, and economic issues, impact the process. Giving transitioning professionals the necessary tools and assistance requires a sophisticated grasp of these factors. Furthermore, retiring and going into academia is advantageous since it provides chances to stay involved and accomplish goals related to lifetime learning and service. Furthermore, even in the face of external shocks and economic downturns, academia offers stability and opportunities for career transition. This paper clarifies the challenges of moving from business to academics, especially in the Cebu environment. Organizations and governments can use these insights to create customized programs supporting transferring professionals and promoting strong industry-academia engagement. This will allow them to exploit new opportunities and harness associated advantages.
