Hire me, I am newly graduated! : A study of HR students percevied employability (English)
Abstract [en]

Employability is a concept that is highly relevant in relation to the labor market, also more attention is brought to the subject in today's society. How students become employable and the responsibility regarding the employability of the individual has shifted over time. The purpose of this essay was to gain more knowledge regarding the subject, that is what makes students employable. Furthermore, the goal was to achieve more knowledge about which factors the students thought were the most relevant in how they experience their own employability. We also wanted to investigate how they witness how well education matched the labor market's requirements. We choose to study how students from Human Resource program experience their own employability after they graduated. The study will therefore be focusing on students that have graduated within 1-2 years to get the best possible image of how they experience their own employability after graduating. The individuals who participated in this research were from two different universities, one university who had internships included in the study plan and one university that did not. The participants were a total of 6 graduates. The empirical material was built on a qualitative method, using qualitative semi-structures interviews. The result of the study showed how the factors that make students employable are many, but the three most current factors were, personality, education and experience. The results showed a big difference in how the students with internship experience their employability after they graduated, in comparison to the students without an internship in their study plan. Also how an education is mandatory to have a chance in today's competitive labor market.
