Work Readiness Prediction of Telkom University Students Using Multinomial Logistic Regression and Random Forest Method

Work readiness for college graduates is an essential and significant thing to get a job immediately after graduation. But what happens is that many graduates are unemployed after graduation or do not get jobs that match the majors they have studied for more than four years. Therefore, by using a people analytics approach, this study aims to predict the work readiness of Telkom University students and find out what factors affect student work-readiness after graduation. The model built is a multi-classes classification model. This model uses Chi-square Test calculation for feature selection, Multinomial Logistic Regression and Random Forest as a classification method, and confusion matrix as an evaluation method. Multinomial Logistic Regression is used because several studies use this algorithm for categorical data, while Random Forest is used to compare which model produces better accuracy. This study conducted several test scenarios, which obtained the best model by performing hyperparameter tuning and handling unbalanced data with SMOTE-ENN. Handling imbalanced data with SMOTE-ENN is used to improve accuracy scores and predict classes well, especially for minority class. The best accuracy of the Multinomial Logistic Regression method is 53.9%, and Random Forest is 48.5%.

The results obtained by the K-Means algorithm can cluster 143 data correctly by comparing with the original data. The best cluster value obtained is K = 3.

Engagement and Work Readiness of College Students

Students should actively engage in school, acquire work readiness skills or soft skills needed for employment, and be amply ready for jobs. This descriptive, comparative, correlational, and predictive study aimed to assess the relationships between student engagement and work readiness skills of 565 college students at a private university in the Philippines. The demographic variables include sex, work experience, and college enrolled in. This study used the Student Engagement in School Inventory and the Real-World Work Readiness Scale. As a whole and by college unit, sex, and paid work experience, university students were highly engaged in cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. Unlike some university students, COED students were more engaged. Sex differences and paid work experience did not affect students' engagements. Soft skills, namely, motivation, maturity, personal development, organizational awareness, technical focus, interpersonal orientation, positive work attitudes, problem solving, adaptability, and resilience made them work-ready. In most areas, students' soft skills were similar. CIT students appeared less adaptable than other students, while CCJE students were more technically focused. Males are better problem-solvers, but females are more motivated and have higher organizational awareness. Those students with paid work experience had higher technical focus and were better problem-solvers because their work experience has enhanced these specific skills necessary in the workplace. Lastly, there is a strong link between engagement and work readiness, which supports the idea that student engagement enhances work readiness.

Hubungan Antara Hardiness Dengan Kesiapan Kerja Pada Mahasiswa Psikologi Islam IAIN Kediri Angkatan 2018

Abstract : Students as graduates from universities certainly have more knowledge and skills than the lower levels. However, this does not require that students be ready for the world of work. Students still feel anxious and lack confidence in the world of work, even though they are in the final semester and will graduate from college. If this condition is continued, students will have difficulty competing in the world of work later. Therefore, students may need tough conditions themselves that help to overcome obstacles in themselves as well as obstacles in the world of work, this tough condition is called hardiness. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of hardiness and the level of work readiness as well as to determine the relationship between hardiness and job readiness in Islamic Psychology students of IAIN Kediri class 2018. The subjects of this study amounted to 97 students of Islamic Psychology IAIN Kediri class 2018. As for the sampling technique, Researchers used a non-probability technique, namely accidental sampling. Furthermore, for data processing using the SPSS 20 for windows application using descriptive statistical analysis methods of frequency and non-parametric statistics with Spearman Rho hypothesis testing. Based on this research, it was found that the average student's hardiness level was in the medium category, amounting to 45.4%. The level of student work readiness is in the medium category average of 47.4%. Based on the results of the analysis of Spearman Rho, a score of 0.802 was obtained with a significance value (2 tailed) of 0.000. This statement can be interpreted as Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. Then the correlation value is positive and has very strong criteria, which means that the relationship between hardiness and work readiness is 0.802 and has very strong criteria.
 Kay word: Hardiness, Working readiness, students.

Student work readiness in Australian engineering workplaces through work integrated learning

PurposeAs part of the Co-Operative Education Program (CEP) under study, a Work-integrated Learning (WIL) student engagement framework is presented. The framework focusses on the effectiveness of the WIL program with real-world assessment tasks to prepare students for graduate employment. In order to evaluate the level at which the engineering graduates are work-ready, an analysis of qualitative and quantitative survey data from CQU students, employers and data from other sources was undertaken. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachWIL is an effective pedagogical strategy employed in engineering curriculum to engage students with workplace partners and engineering practices. However, little is known about the problems exist in the WIL processes including insufficient resources and support for mentoring students. On overcoming the problems, an effective collaboration between students, universities and engineering workplaces provides an enhanced engagement experience and enables students’ work-ready skills. Central Queensland University (CQU)’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Co-op) students participate in two 6-month WIL placements over the course of their university studies.FindingsTo identify the impact of the co-operative education model on graduate outcomes, an analysis of student assessment data from 2016 to 2018 showed that the student employability indicators were consistently above the national average of graduate engineering students. All areas such as knowledge base, engineering ability and professional attributes, students’ performance were rated at or above the average of a graduate engineer by employers.Originality/valueAs part of practice assessment, engineering workplace employers provide an evaluation of students’ performance against the Engineers Australia (EA) Stage 1 Competency Standard for Professional Engineers, involving sixteen mandatory elements in the areas of knowledge and skill base, engineering application ability, and professional and personal attributes.
