Abstract

Anadolu University's Open Education System (OES) accommodates over one million students and has incorporated an AI-based Virtual Assistant for non-academic support since 2022. While OES offers abundant information about its programs on its website, there is a notable absence of support services providing job recommendations related to students' chosen programs. This gap in student support extends to the post-graduation phase, with the Virtual Assistant lacking a concept for guiding students in finding employment opportunities. Recognizing the need for comprehensive assistance, this study sought to leverage AI capabilities to offer job recommendations by extracting information from the objectives of 63 OES programs. The initial inquiry involved requesting AI-generated job recommendations based on the stated objectives of these programs. Subsequently, the Virtual Assistant was tasked with providing insights into the occupation fields associated with OES programs. Analysis of the AI's responses, along with the classification of occupations according to the International Standards of Classifications of Occupations (ISCO) and the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED), forms the core of this study. Contrary to trends observed in most European countries, the predominant number of graduates in Türkiye emerges from business and management fields. However, the correlation between graduation rates and subsequent job placements appears suboptimal within the labor force and employment landscape. The study advocates for the integration of AI in offering job recommendations, incorporating graduation and employment rates. This approach enables students to seek guidance on suitable programs aligned with their skills, fostering a more informed decision-making process. The study underscores the potential for higher education institutes to share employment and labor force data.
