“…In summary, the literature review indicates that researchers have identified academic reputation as an important factor influencing EM (Mihut, 2015;Maclean, 2017;Strauss, 2017;Bano & Vasantha, 2019;Nogales et al, 2020;Shanmugam & Bano, 2020;Aviso et al, 2021).…”

Graduate Employability (EM) is a major issue for Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL). In a challenging economy, the role of IHL is not only to produce graduates with specific areas of specialization, but more importantly, to develop EM skills that are most demanding in the 21st Century. This literature review aims to identify the determinant factors influencing the employability of engineering graduates. The Narrative Literature Review method was used to search for relevant articles. The literature review indicates that researchers have identified soft skills, problem solving skills, functional (knowledge) skills and academic reputation as the primary factors influencing the employability of engineering graduates.

“…It can generate frequencies for each question and allow the researcher to export data into programs like SPSS for more complex analysis. In Asia, the study carried by Aviso, et al (2021) investigated the role played by universities in developing new technologies that could be fundamental for economic development through quality and sustainable services as well as improved quality of life among students, and reduced environmental impacts. The trends in the developing countries show accelerated efforts to transform teaching-oriented higher education institutions into research-intensive universities.…”

Quality, resilience, commitment and sustainable delivery of services has increasingly being a demand for every community in the world. The 21st century has identified the kind of skills that need to be embraced by every individual for one to deliver quality, sustainable and descent work. In response, Tanzania launched the Higher education Development Programme (HEDP) to ensure the attainment of this fundamental objective. This study therefore investigated the vastness of HEDP on enabling quality and sustainable service delivery among university graduates. The study tested two hypotheses. The CIP1P2I evaluation model guide this study. The study employed Convergent design under mixed research approach. The target population for this evaluation study was 18,601 respondents selected from eight (8) Universities in the Northern Zone Tanzania. The target population comprised of 5,118 final year bachelor degree students, 483 lecturers, 8 DVC-academics, 12,292 alumni and 100 employers. The sample was 697 which comprised of 511 final year Bachelor degree students; 48 lecturers; 4 DVC academics; 124 alumni and 10 employers. The sampling techniques included stratified random, purposive sampling techniques and automatic inclusion. Data was collected by using questionnaires, indepth interview guides and document analysis guides. Quantitative data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics where frequencies, percentages, and means were determined. Qualitative data was analyzed through transcription of the texts, generate themes, interpreting, discussion and making conclusions. The study found that, most alumni couldn’t deliver quality and sustainable service as needed by their community. The study concluded that, HEDP has not adequately brought about tangible implications on the quality and sustainability of graduates and thus quality of higher education system is questionable. It was recommended that, universities should reform curriculums that emphasize on acquisition of soft-skills that may enable graduates deliver quality and sustainable services rather than traditional emphasis on academic achievement.

“…Por esta razón, el objetivo de este estudio fue, desarrollar un modelo de minería de datos para identificar patrones de empleabilidad de egresados e incrementar la tasa de inserción laboral afín a la formación profesional. Cada vez más estudios están investigando técnicas de minería de datos para predecir la empleabilidad (Razón et al, 2019;Aviso et al, 2021;Romero y Ventura, 2010;Peña, 2014). Denila (2020) analizó técnicas de minería de datos para evaluar el empleo y fortalecer las decisiones universitarias.…”

El objetivo de este estudio fue desarrollar un modelo de minería de datos para identificar patrones de empleabilidad de egresados, que contribuya a mejorar la tasa de inserción laboral afín a la formación profesional. Este estudio responde a la preocupación por la empleabilidad de profesionales. Se utilizó la metodología KDD (Knowledge Discovery in Databases) por etapas definidas y simplificadas, algoritmos y técnicas de árboles de decisión, redes neuronales y regresión para determinar la interacción de los egresados en un entorno laboral. Se identificó el algoritmo red neuronal que se ajustaba para resolver la problemática por exactitud, precisión, sensibilidad, tiempo de ejecución, rendimiento y facilidad para interpretación de datos y resultados del modelo generado. Se concluye que las variables predictoras significantes son: 1) uso de conocimientos y habilidades en su trabajo actual, 2) el año de graduación y si buscó trabajo al término de su carrera, y 3) labora actualmente (variable dependiente).
