Development of a Web-Based Job and Career Compatibility System Using the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework Method: A Case Study in Nusa Putra University

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education and the job market, aligning students' career aspirations with suitable employment opportunities has become a critical challenge. This research presents the development of a web-based Job and Career Compatibility System (JCCS) designed to bridge the gap between academic pursuits and career pathways. The study employs the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) as a guiding methodology to ensure systematic design, development, and implementation. The case study is conducted within the context of Nusa Putra University, aiming to offer a comprehensive understanding of the system's practical application. The JCCS integrates multifaceted functionalities, including student profiling, career path exploration, and job matching based on skillsets and preferences. FEAF's structured approach assists in defining architectural components, data flows, and interdependencies, ensuring interoperability and sustainability. The research contributes to both academia and industry by showcasing the successful fusion of modern technological solutions with a robust architectural framework. Preliminary feedback from students and career advisors indicates improved career-related decision-making and enhanced awareness of potential opportunities. Furthermore, the utilization of FEAF establishes a precedent for the systematic development of similar systems within other educational institutions or organizational contexts. In conclusion, the web-based Job and Career Compatibility System developed using the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework stands as an innovative tool addressing the intricate task of aligning academic pursuits with future career goals. This study sheds light on the practical benefits of employing FEAF in developing IT solutions within the educational realm, emphasizing the potential to positively impact students' transition from education to the workforce.
