Abstract

Finding a good job one of the biggest concerns of students after graduating. From then, the question of whether graduates from universities could have a suitable job in the future may be far more complicated to be answered. There are many controversial points of view around this issue, and each of them also varies from person to person. Some say that students must take full responsibility when they are not active when finding jobs, or not qualified for jobs, but some insists that the training program of university is the cause when it is not corresponding with the reality. As long as this matter is not solved, it is hard for students to get employed when graduating.
With hope for satisfactory explanations for this matter as well as to give out appropriate recommendations, this research is carried out. There are many differences between training program of universities and requirements of enterprises. During the period of study at university, the students are not equipped enough necessary skills to satisfy the enterprises' requirements.

Researchers also aim to employees working at some companies in Ho Chi Minh City. [...]

[...] CONCLUSION: During fourteen weeks, the database is collected through questionnaires delivered to students in different majors to ask about the training programs of many Universities are closely or not closely concerned with enterprises' needs and expectations, which causes difficulties to many graduates in finding appropriate jobs and integrating themselves into the real-life working environment. According to the survey's result, most of the students feel difficult to find an appropriate job after graduate. The first main reason is most of them met greatest obstacles in applying learned knowledge from school to work. [...]

[...] - Instruments To understand the matters of students as well as the needs and expectations of enterprises, questionnaires (Appendix) were created and sent to researched persons. The conducted questionnaires consist of two kinds of questions, open and closed questions. The questions focused on probing common problems that students often meet in finding a suitable job.

Otherwise, after recruitment, enterprises have to spend at least six months on re-training the fresh graduates, but the new employees change another job while the process is still uncompleted” [Ms. Pham Thi My Le, Director of L&A Consulting and Training for Human Resource Company]. In consequence, this problem creates a big challenge for recruiter is how to identify a candidate who is able to reach their requirement in the local labor market Criteria when choosing fresh graduates: There are for common criteria which most enterprises use for choosing candidates: basing on tests of knowledge, reputation of academic institutions, experience and degree. [...]

[...] The frequency of receiving fresh graduates and their relation with companies: All of enterprises have already received fresh graduates to their companies. Companies often offer graduates with working or internship positions. However, the research shows that the relationships between fresh graduates and companies do not last long. There is up to 65% of low assessment on long term relation and only 35% of average one. This is due to the fact that most of students just work for a company in short time and they change to another job or company. [...]
