Analysis of Academic Achievement of Graduates from XYZ University in Relation to Career Alignment

Abstract

The current research outlines the findings of our study on the relationship between the academic achievements of XYZ University (Dehasen University) graduates and the alignment of their chosen career fields. The research results indicate a positive correlation between graduates’ academic performance and suitability in their chosen career fields, as confirmed through the discussion. Graduates with an average academic performance score of ≥ high, as seen in the Cumulative Achievement Score (CPKL) graph, tend to be more suitable in their respective career fields. The result reflects the importance of quality education in preparing graduates for the job market. The study’s primary findings reveal a positive relationship between academic performance and career field suitability. There is a strong correlation between the level of academic achievement graduates attain during their studies and the level of suitability in the career fields they choose after graduation. The results were supported by findings such as CPKL with an average achievement ≤ 3.00, Academic Field Achievement Score (CBAL) findings ≤ 2.50, Non-Academic Achievement Score (CPNAL) findings with an average achievement ≤ 3.20, Work Area Size Achievement Score (CULKL) findings with an average achievement ≤ 3.50, and Job Field Suitability Achievement Score (CKBKL) achievement with an average score ≤ 2.80. Graduates who achieve better academic performance are more successful in pursuing careers in fields that align with their previous study programs. Furthermore, the research also reveals that several determining factors for career field suitability are influenced by the field’s scope, internship experiences, non-academic achievements, and support from the university. Students with a strong interest in specific fields or relevant internship experience tend to find suitable employment more quickly.
