Overcoming Unemployment of Computer Science Alumni through Mobile Apps Utilization

Abstract

Mobile phones are considered extremely crucial for their daily usage due to their unique features such as mobility, availability, and compatibility. Moreover, the need for mobile apps periodically increases in terms of the variety of end-users as well as mobile platforms. Iraq is an emerging country concerning the development and requirements of mobile apps. There are numerous challenges faced by this trend on mobile phone app requirements, development, and usage. Consequently, the major consideration is how to build a suitable mobile app that can be adopted, adapted, and customized according to Iraqi market requirements. An essential fact worth mentioning is the increase in unemployed computer departments alumni in Iraq. Those who can develop mobile apps and software need to recruit suitable candidates. The purpose of this article is to develop a customized flight booking mobile application to partially reduce and solve the problem of unemployed computer alumni. The target of this application is to reduce time and effort for passengers and offer unique features. The developed application is the adoption of previous applications and the improvement of their inadequacies. By following a six-phase methodology to set a procedural technique for optimizing the use of the mobile application as a source of revenue for unemployed alumni as well as being beneficial for the customer. The validation and verification of the proposed application of this current research are done by evaluating and executing the mobile application. The results of this paper meet the main objective, where, the special features have been implemented and tested. In addition, the application has been installed on mobile phones and tested. Furthermore, the income from this application is obtained through purchasing it or subscribing to it for a specific duration. We encourage researchers as well as alumni who are targeted in this field to be attentive to cutting-edge technology and advancement and the concept of this paper.
