DEDICATION
I wish to dedicate this research project to all university graduates that have come
before me, currently in study and those to come. It comes from a place of best
wishes because our luck is different even though we share the same predicament. I
also dedicate this to the folks at the top of the food-chain. All boards of directors
whose decisions impact on the employment status of graduates, giving them a view
of the roots in the industry to identify fall-between the current employment rate
and the overall target to employment.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This proposal will seek to dive into the problem of unemployment with a solution
oriented detail thereafter. The research will first of all seek to get the opinion of the
subjects in study, and then use that to construct a solution oriented report. This will
seek to, although not eliminate the problem of unemployment absolutely, but
reduce the rate of cooperative university graduates going unemployed- by
providing a step by step approach to solution.
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
Hypotheses
The number of graduate output in the cuk beats the available job opportunities for
their intake.
Significance of the study
This study is important to these stakeholders because;
It will provide insight for graduates into their role in the graduation-employment
transition, allowing them realign their goals and actions to a position of max
employability.
It will help to provide insight to the employer on the state of employability of
graduates as well as provide a plug through which he can inject his input to
influence the outcome of his product (the employee) in the supply chain.
It will as well, provide the government with a bearing on the graduate
employability matter and how it can enhance this through policy decisions to
ultimately fuel economic growth.
Introduction
In this chapter, available sources of information already written by other scholars
will be reviewed in line with the objectives.
Empirical Review
Independent variable
The number of students graduating from the cooperative university of Kenya.
Dependent variable
The number of jobs available for uptake of cuk graduates.
Control variable
The annual graduation event which will take place on the 6th of December, 2019.
This model will demonstrate that the number of jobs to be created is dependent on
the number of graduates coming from the university each year.
CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY
Research design
This study will attempt to use a user sample experience experimental design. The
appropriateness of the situation is that in attempting to solve the problem of
unemployment, the solution lies within accessing each individual’s experience in
job search to attempt to identify loopholes and weaknesses in their strategy, and
rectify those towards achieving employment for each. The research will take the
form of interviews with candidates. Sampling will apply in the selection of
candidates for interview to ensure even distribution coming from candidate
answers.
Population and sample
The target population for this particular study will be the 2019 cuk graduate group.
This population is most appropriate because these candidates are directly next in
line outside interview rooms fresh out of campus. They will provide the outlook
orient on the future of their employment status. Apart from the education system
demanding them to follow up on their educational qualification to seek jobs, what
else contributes to their want to get jobs?
A good sampling technique would be stratified random sampling. In this technique,
the target population will be divided into various subgroups. These will have
already been done and will include the different graduating categories. These
categories such as the graduating group course title. Then a 3% number of cases in
each population subgroup will be randomly selected.
Data collection procedures
Since most of this information required is opinion from the subjects, the most
appropriate data collection method would be to conduct an interview. In cases
where interviews will not be possible, either the subject will be too preoccupied to
spare a moment, a questionnaire will work just fine to be collected later on. An
interview will entail a question and answer session with each subject recorded on
camera to capture every detail of their responses. The footage will then be edited to
just about ten minutes of talk.
Data analysis
Moment correlation happens to be the most appropriate data analysis method in
this case. The variables will be spelt out for the subject who will then give his
opinion on the correlation of the same, unique to his case. A keen look at his facial
expression and non-verbal cues should reveal each subject’s true intent and attitude
toward the variables. The biggest advantage with this technique is that it is flexible.
The researcher can always go back and review the data in a case clarity is required.
