ACCESSIBILITY TO WORK OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGICAL STUDENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF REVOLUTION 4.0

The economy and human resource development have been greatly influenced by the fourth industrial revolution. A series of new technologies has been developed based on network platform and digital technology, which require the faster transformation of information technology businesses. This study examines the human resource demands of enterprises and assesses the ability of university graduates to grasp career opportunities in these companies. The survey was conducted on a total of 986 enterprises by using questionnaires and 20 focus groups. According to the findings, the information technology companies are short on human resources in the 25-35 age group, leadership and direct production personnel, and workers with analytical and problem-solving skills. Besides, there is a shortage of university-educated personnel available to carry out implementation research. This result can support students and employees in better understanding career opportunities and meeting job requirements. The findings also provide further information on the job responsiveness of university-educated human resources, helping researchers and human resource trainers in determining the emphasis of future efforts.
