Background of the study
Job placement is a critical component of higher education institutions, as it helps graduates transition from academia to the workforce. At the Federal University of Technology, Minna, the job placement process has traditionally been manual, involving career fairs and limited partnerships with companies. However, this process has proven to be time-consuming, inefficient, and often disconnected from the real-time needs of the job market (Bello & Adamu, 2023). The lack of a streamlined, digital system has led to challenges such as limited job opportunities, slow response times, and difficulty tracking the employment status of graduates.
An online job placement system can bridge this gap by providing graduates with access to a centralized platform where they can apply for jobs, receive job recommendations, and connect with potential employers (Yusuf & Bello, 2023). This study aims to design and implement an online job placement system that will improve the job search process for graduates, increase employment opportunities, and enhance the university's relationship with the job market.

This study aims to design and implement an online job placement system to address these issues and improve the graduate employment process.
