| Summary: | Although the present study identifies several shortcomings regarding the practice of co-operative education, it pioneers the notion that the growing of talent can be enhanced through a co-operative education strategy. The study has attempted to distil the core principles of a phenomenological research design within the greater context of qualitative research. Perspectives of the research subjects are presented as thick descriptions. The literature review indicates the need for the growing of talent in South Africa, against the backdrop of international talent struggles. It points out the need for collaboration between Higher Education and enterprises in growing talent. The study distils the core properties of co-operative education, contextualised within the dysfunctionality of Higher Education in South Africa and the development of Higher Education internationally. === Dr. W.J Schurink |
