PELUANG MAHASISWA DALAM DUNIA KERJA DITINJAU DARI ASPEK KOMPETENSI

Abstract

The research objective is to determine the absorption of labor in terms of competency
aspects and to determine the relevance of the world of education in terms of competence with
the world of work. This type of research is qualitative. The sampling of data sources was done by
purposive and snowball. Data collection techniques by using triangulation (combined). The data
analysis is inductive or qualitative in nature and the research results emphasize meaning rather
than generalization. Students opportunities in the world of work in terms of competence are very
low, this can be shown based on data on the increase in the number of the workforce which is
not accompanied by an increase in the labor force participation rate. It is hoped that the
Academics will open an entrepreneurship-based curriculum where every student is expected to
have the ability and potential to become an entrepreneurial spirit. The relevance of the world of
education in terms of competence with the world of work is still low even though public access to
higher education continues to increase. This is reflected in the low labor absorption of college
graduates. The relevance of college graduates to the need for labor is an important factor in
efforts to prevent unemployed graduates, in this case it is necessary to determine strategic
policies and superior programs in order to realize quality higher education.
