Residents who have higher education to get decent jobs are unemployed. Alfeus Nehemia, Head of Human Capital from PT Praweda Ciptakarsa Informatika explained several reasons.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Skills do not meet requirements<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>Alfeus said that as a\u00a0human capital officer\u00a0he is often faced with a difficult position to find people suitable to be employed according to the expected qualifications.\u00a0Many of the applicants offer skills that are irrelevant or not needed by current employers.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIf you say it\u2019s hard to find work, we as a company also say it\u2019s hard to find employees.\u00a0It happens due to a\u00a0mismatch\u00a0between the required and available skills,\u201d said the 2009 FISIP UNAIR International Relations alumnus.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>High income and status expectation<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>When graduating from a prestigious college, it is not uncommon for someone to have high expectations of getting a high-paying job easily.\u00a0The expectations have made several graduates from these prestigious universities too confident by labeling themselves with high\u00a0fresh grades\u00a0even though they do not necessarily have proper competence.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cCompanies don\u2019t\u00a0only look at your school\u2019s alma mater, but we also see what kind of competence you have, whether you deserve big pay or not,\u201d he explained in the Career Buddy Webinar of the <a href=\"http:\/\/210.57.208.200\">DPKKA<\/a> x JobHun Program, Saturday, June 18, 2022.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Limited employment providers<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>Limited employment opportunities is one of the reasons for much unemployment. It was exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused massive layoffs. The unemployment rate is higher than the existing vacancies.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAlmost 29.12 million working-age people have been affected by the pandemic.\u00a0Maybe they have\u00a0recovered\u00a0a bit, but it is important to remember that new graduates waiting to get a job increase every year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Therefore, he continued, the challenges for the young generation to find jobs after the pandemic are even more difficult. \u201cBecause they have to compete with thousands of people for less and less job opportunities,\u201d he explained.
