Background of the Study
The transition from university to the workforce is a significant phase in a graduate’s life, with many graduates facing challenges in securing appropriate employment opportunities. The emergence of AI-based job recommendation systems offers a solution by matching graduates with relevant job openings based on their qualifications, interests, and skills. At Federal University, Gashua, located in Bade LGA, Yobe State, many graduates struggle to navigate the competitive job market without adequate guidance and support.
AI-based recommendation systems utilize machine learning algorithms to analyze graduate profiles, job market trends, and employer requirements, enabling the identification of job opportunities that best align with graduates' capabilities. These systems have the potential to enhance the job search experience by offering personalized recommendations, thereby improving the chances of employment and reducing the time it takes for graduates to secure jobs.
Statement of the Problem
Many graduates of Federal University, Gashua, face difficulties in finding suitable jobs after completing their studies. The university does not currently have an AI-based system to guide graduates in their job search, relying instead on manual efforts such as job fairs and networking. The lack of a personalized, data-driven approach to job recommendation leads to frustration among graduates and suboptimal employment outcomes. The implementation of an AI-based job recommendation system could bridge this gap and significantly improve graduate employment prospects.
Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the effectiveness of AI-based job recommendation systems for improving graduate employment outcomes at Federal University, Gashua.
2. To evaluate the performance of AI algorithms in matching graduates with suitable job opportunities.
3. To design and implement an AI-based job recommendation system tailored for graduates of Federal University, Gashua.
Research Questions
1. How effective are AI-based job recommendation systems in improving graduate employment outcomes at Federal University, Gashua?
2. How do AI algorithms perform in matching graduates with the most suitable job opportunities?
3. What are the challenges and limitations in implementing AI-based job recommendation systems at Federal University, Gashua?
Research Hypotheses
1. AI-based job recommendation systems will significantly improve the job placement rate of graduates from Federal University, Gashua.
2. AI algorithms will demonstrate superior accuracy in matching graduates to appropriate job opportunities compared to traditional methods.
3. The implementation of an AI-based system will reduce the time taken for graduates to secure employment.
Significance of the Study
This research will contribute to the development of a robust AI-based job recommendation system that can enhance the employability of graduates from Federal University, Gashua. It will provide an innovative solution for bridging the gap between university education and employment, benefiting both graduates and employers.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the design and implementation of an AI-based job recommendation system for graduates of Federal University, Gashua, located in Bade LGA, Yobe State. The study will be limited to graduates seeking employment in Nigeria and will not include international job markets.
