Abstract: Strategic school-enterprise cooperation has emerged as a pivotal mechanism for enhancing educational outcomes by bridging the gap between academic theory and practical industry demands. This paper investigates the mechanisms, benefits, and challenges associated with such collaborations. Through qualitative interviews with educational leaders, industry representatives, and students, supplemented by quantitative analysis of cooperation models, the study identifies key factors that contribute to successful partnerships. Benefits include enriched learning experiences, improved student employability, and enhanced research opportunities for faculty. However, challenges such as alignment of goals, resource allocation, and sustainability are significant barriers that require thoughtful consideration. Findings underscore the importance of structured frameworks and clear communication in fostering sustainable partnerships that mutually benefit educational institutions and enterprises alike, thereby shaping a skilled workforce prepared for evolving global challenges.
Keywords: school-enterprise cooperation, educational outcomes, industry integration, collaboration mechanisms, challenges.
