We contacted undergraduate students from the targetjobs.co.uk database who
had told us that they were interested in working in the IT sector. 720
completed the survey, which was live on the site for a three-week period in
April/May 2012. These are the findings from the survey.

The Computing industry has criticized the University curriculum as not producing graduates ‘fit for the job’ (Department for Education, 2013). As a vocational course it seems reasonable that students would wish to enter the Computing Industry, yet graduates with Computer Science degrees currently have the highest level of unemployment (at 14%) (HESA, 2012).
Second year (level 5) computing students at Leeds Beckett University are offered a series of lectures designed to encourage, promote, motivate and support them in finding a year’s work experience placement to undertake between their second and third year of study. In order to encourage engagement and ensure students have given their career and the opportunity to take a placement some consideration, they are required to complete an online quiz which involves answering questions regarding the work experience they have to date and their aspirations. This paper analyses and presents the initial findings of the ‘quiz’ data using a comparative analysis and interpretative analysis the format of short ‘vignettes’ provided by the students. The findings show that 75% of the students have generic work experience and out of those a third have spent time in IT related roles. The vignettes provide evidence of themes such as ‘fearfulness’ in approaching work experience and ‘delusion’ in their perception of the industry.
The intention of this initial analysis is to give direction to further research in order to support the students in finding a placement and course related work experience. Areas of particular interest arising from related literature include the role of situated learning in the form of work experience, experiential learning and legitimate peripheral participation (Lave and Wenger, 1991; Grenfell, 2008).

What’s it like to conduct ethnography for an e-commerce website? Among practical tips and tricks for conducting your ethnography project, this presentation will answer questions such as:
• What can an organisation gain from ethnography?
• How does ethnography fit into a holistic UX research approach?
• How can we get execs to say “Yes” to ethnography (and fund it!)
• How do I avoid common pitfalls?

Innovation and reinvention is the key factor for any business to succeed. Reinvention is the improvisation made o the innovation considering the key factors of the innovation whether organization or individual. Ed-tech has brought about innovation in the field education. With the emerging of new ideas and technology, learning has become much more fun and interesting. Since the old school method of learning had become monotonous and was harder at times for students to communicate with teachers thus the invention of the newer concept in the field of education is becoming more acceptable for students of every age group. This paper is a brief analysis on how ed-tech has brought changes in the field of education system and in the process of teaching at the same times how it is helping the ed-tech companies to earn profits and role of management in this process. By discussing about the ways and processes by which organization deals with this it sheds light on how management plays a vital role in the entire process at the same time in innovation and reinvention

A review about Computer Science Student to Know about the professional practices in our daily life, And also know about the education in professional practices.
The purpose of this paper is to design reference architecture for intelligent personal
learning environments (PLE). This research effort is a result of a multi-stage approach.
First, semi-structured interviews have been conducted with software development
practitioners working in a large technology and communications services provider
company. Interview content has been evaluated using thematic analysis. Second,
reference architecture for intelligent personal learning environments has been designed
and validated using the Software Architecture Analysis Method (SAAM). During SAAM
evaluation, the output of the first phase and previous Personal Learning Environment
literature reviews has been used. As a result, we demonstrated a novel architecture for
personal learning environments. Proposed personal learning architecture has met the
requirements of industry demands and previous literature.

Addressing the Top IT Hiring Challenges | WhitepaperACTIVE Network
The need for high-quality IT workers is increasing at a rapid pace, but the pool of potential candidates is smaller than ever – which goes a long way towards explaining why nearly 60% of companies are reporting that open IT positions are currently going unfilled. But that’s not the whole story - the challenges in this candidate-driven employment market are many. And some of the moves being made by candidates to leverage the situation (and by companies to try and control it) are only contributing to the ever-increasing complexity of the hiring process. - See more at: http://pages.xtglobal.com/Addressing-Top-IT-Hiring-Challenges-Download-Page.html#sthash.LmOl81b4.dpuf
The Gig Economy: Preparing High School Students for Careers in 2020College MatchPoint
By 2020, approximately 40% of the U.S. workforce will be engaged in quick “gigs” and project-based work. The reality for many students when they graduate will be, “My grandfather had one job during his lifetime, my mom had six—and I will have six gigs all at the same time.” Most college seniors in 2020 will enter the workforce managing a series of projects, rather than dedicate years of service to any particular organization. This presentation will focus on how early career discovery during the college planning process can better prepare students for this new career reality, including tools for developing expertise in project settings aligned to the student’s aptitudes and interests.
Bachelor of Information Technology Sydney industry is a dynamic and rapidly growing market. You'll graduate from our Bachelor of Information Technology with the technical, analytical, managerial, leadership and interpersonal skills required for success in the IT industry.
Key Takeaway:
Colleges today face specific and unique challenges as they help their students out of the classroom and into the workforce. This session offers practical and strategic tools to help bridge the “Skills Gap” that students coming out of college face today as well as tools which help engage everyone’s participation in improving employment outcomes for your Graduates.
Description (paragraph form)
With an increased pressure on Institutions of Higher Learning to substantiate their course offerings with respect to employability; now more than ever, programs designed to specifically address soft-skills are the only viable way to prepare the student and close the “skills gap” that exists in the job market today.
More and more recent college graduates struggle to gain entry into their field due to what employers claim is a lack of hands on experience, professionalism and business acumen in students coming directly out of college.
Join highly-rated speaker Ann Cross for this interactive and engaging presentation about the benefits of incorporating soft-skills training through experiential learning into the student experience. For those who already have soft-skills training as part of your course offerings, this workshop will share some of the best practices from around the country.
The Sparrow Group has visited dozens of campuses in the last five years, and has seen what works, as well as the common mistakes and missed opportunities. This is not a theoretical workshop, but rather a workshop that focuses on practical, tactical programs that you can implement immediately. You’ll hear stories of success, see data that supports outcomes, and leave with tools that you can take back to the campus and use to improve employment outcomes.

Why Should We Keep Evolving Candidate Experience? Launchpad
We talk about the impact - both positive and negative, of incorporating technology into the recruitment process and take a crystal ball to predict how things will move forward over the next 5 - 10 years. Not quite futurology - more like a 'realistic prediction'!
