Generous Welfare

A more generous welfare state (particularly with an aging population) has financing needs that immigrants could fill. With high-skilled immigrants more likely to pay in rather than draw on the welfare state, more generous welfare states are more inclined to try to attract high skilled. Israel ranks third in the world in the number of university graduates per capita, after the United States and the Netherlands. It possesses the highest per capita number of scientists in the world, with 135 for every 10,000 citizens (compared to 85 per 10,000 in the United States). Israelis took full advantage of the immigration skill bias. When examining the index for educated émigrés, i.e., those with a college degree, the average index is 12.41 and Israel's index is more than three times higher, 41.45. Using this index, Israel is higher than Portugal and the gap between Israel and Ireland (49.09) narrows considerably.

STKIP Bina Bangsa Getsempena (STKIP BBG) is one of the private tertiary institutions in Aceh that was established in 2003. During its 15 years of establishment, STKIP BBG has been through an accreditation program by BAN-PT with good results. Even in 2018, STKIP BBG received an award as the best PT Kopertis XIII version of the high school category. This is inseparable from the support in the implementation of Education programs, reports, and alumni selection programs in their work in the world of work after completing the Education program at STKIP BBG. So far, the implementation of the alumni selection program in the form of tracer studies can capture as much as 20-30% according to the needs of the forms. However, this is felt to still need to be improved in order to improve the quality and relevance of the Education program at STKIP BBG in the future. Therefore, the Advanced Career Center Assistance Program especially tracer study will greatly help get accurate feedback from graduates. The tracer study at STKIP BBG will involve 220 alumni graduating in 2017 using the PDCA approach involving surveyors and alumni groups spread across various regions and islands. The results of the tracer study can at least (1) determine the transition of STKIP BBG graduates in the world of work; (2) mapping horizontal and vertical alignment of STKIP BBG graduates; (3) mapping the competency gaps of graduates and the demands of the world of work; (4) assisting government programs in order to strengthen the monitoring system of PT Indonesia graduates, especially in Aceh.   Abstrak STKIP Bina Bangsa Getsempena (STKIP BBG) merupakan salah satu perguruan tinggi swasta di Aceh yang berdiri sejak tahun 2003. Selama 15 tahun pendiriannya, STKIP BBG telah melalui program akreditasi oleh BAN-PT dengan hasil baik. Bahkan pada tahun 2018, STKIP BBG mendapatkan penghargaan sebagai PT terbaik versi Kopertis XIII kategori sekolah tinggi. Hal ini tidak lepas dari dukungan dalam pelaksanaan program-program Pendidikan, pelaporan-pelaporan, serta program penjaringan alumni dalam kiprahnya didunia kerja pasca menyelesaikan program Pendidikan di STKIP BBG. Sejauh ini, pelaksanaan program penjaringan alumni dalam bentuk tracer study dapat menjaring sebanyak 20-30% saja sesuai dengan kebutuhan borang. Namun ini dirasa masih perlu ditingkatkan demi peningkatan mutu dan relevansi program Pendidikan di STKIP BBG di masa yang akan dating. Maka dari itu Program Bantuan Pusat Karir Lanjutan khususnya tracer study akan sangat membantu mendapatkan umpan balik yang akurat dari para lulusan. Tracer study di STKIP BBG akan melibatkan sebanyak 220 alumni yang lulus pada tahun 2017 dengan menggunakan pendekatan PDCA yang melibatkan tenaga surveyor dan grup-grup alumni yang tersebar di berbagai daerah dan kepulauan. Hasil dari tracer study paling tidak dapat (1) mengetahui transisi lulusan STKIP BBG dalam dunia kerja; (2) memetakan keselarasan horizontal dan vertikal lulusan STKIP BBG; (3) memetakan kesenjangan kompetensi lulusan dan tuntutan dunia kerja; (4) membantu program pemerintah dalam rangka memantapkan sistem pemantauan lulusan PT Indonesia khususnya di Aceh.

This study aimed to determine the employability of Batangas State University-Lipa City graduates within two (2) years after graduation. In this tracer study the BatStateU-Lipa City graduates of School Year 2017 -2018 are the participants. To obtain the needed information, the researchers used online survey to be filled in by the graduates. The survey questionnaire served as the data gathering instrument. The subjects of the study were 454 graduates whose names were drawn randomly from the master list of 514 graduates of the four colleges offering different academic programs. Findings of the study revealed that almost all of the BatStateU-Lipa City graduates are currently employed and working in a full time basis. On the other hand, more than half are holding permanent position. However, most of them are not yet pursuing masters’ degree or post graduate studies. The developed alumni directory will help the University in tracking the alumni and to easily collect and update the personal and professional information of graduates. It is recommended that the graduates may pursue professional development and advancement by taking masters’ degree or advance study for them to upgrade their core competencies and land in a job that will provide vast opportunities to practice their profession. The expansion of tie-ups with public and private agencies and enterprises that can provide employment opportunities to the University graduates be a continuing process in all colleges to maintain the higher rate of employability.

Knowledge And Technology Transfer

Higher education in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has not been able to deliver the needed knowledge and technology transfer to generate productivity and innovation in this part of the world (Arab Economic and Social Summit, 2009; Thomson and Reuters, 2007). Youth unemployment in the MENA region remains the highest in the world, with the Middle East rating 21% and North Africa rating 25%, out of whom one-third are university graduates (World Bank, 2013). The chapter aims to address issues pertaining to the need to shift perspective in higher education in the MENA region, in the light of its growing importance as a developing entity with natural and human resources. The chapter identifies the role of higher education, in policies and practice, in addressing the needs of the region and transforming its resources, human and physical, to further its economic development.

The Difference

In the modern conditions of globalization, there are new requirements for university graduates. They should not only know a foreign language, but also a well-formed intercultural competence. The authors distinguish cultural interpretation as one of the ways of forming intercultural competence. Cultural interpretation helps to identify the national and cultural specifics of idioms, in which there is information about the world of a particular country, its lifestyle, and traditions. The internal form of idioms contains a set of cultured ideas about the world picture of a particular society. The idioms with the ornithonym component reflect the specific division of this sphere of reality. This language layer has not been sufficiently studied. The authors give the linguoculturological analysis of the Russian and English idioms with the components “swallow” and “peacock”. Culture codes and sources of cultural interpretation are analyzed from the cultural and linguistic points of view. The Russian and English idioms with the ornithonyms are compared. The authors conclude that the comparative analysis of idioms shows the difference in the linguistic world views and sheds light on the ethnic logic. The research findings can be used in teaching a foreign language to comprehend the culture of native speakers.

Tracer Study is a study conducted by tertiary institutions to search for alumni whose purpose is to find out the reciprocal of alumni education in the world of work. National universities themselves already have a tracer study website but still have difficulty in carrying out tracer studies, especially to contact alumni. The method used in this study uses a structured waterfall method. In this case, the initial stage for this method is to make observations that aim to find and find out the problems faced by users and to collect data by searching literature studies related to website-based tracer studies to testing website testing systems using blackboxes, namely testing the function requirements of each menu in a program. This research resulted in the application of a website-based tracer study system that facilitates alumni to carry out the tracer study process which can be done anytime and anywhere. The results of the tracer study itself will serve as a benchmark for the university in developing the ability of future students to compete in the workforce.
