Evaluation of Graduation Management as an Effort to Improve Graduates’ Competitiveness in the Academic World and the Job Market

Abstract

Graduation management evaluation is the process of assessing and analyzing the graduation management system in educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of evaluation management as an effort to enhance the competitiveness of graduates in both the labor market and academia. This research uses a literature analysis method with a qualitative approach. The data used in this study come from various secondary sources, including scientific journals and books related to management evaluation as an effort to improve graduates’ competitiveness in academia and the labor market. The results show that graduation evaluation is urgently needed to increase competitiveness in both academia and the job market, so that graduates can obtain decent employment to support their academic and professional careers. However, several challenges arise in its implementation, such as lack of systematic evaluation, unprofessional supervisors, and limited student skills and competencies. Therefore, if evaluation is implemented optimally, it must be carried out regularly and supported by several key factors in order to produce graduates capable of competing in both academia and the labor market.
