Abstract
To become higher competitive a university needs to develop a viable students’ absorption strategy on the labor market. A key to the successful development of such a strategy rests to synchronize jobs descriptions with profiles and behavior of IT students. In order to generate this synchronization, it is essential to identify a way to improve university curricula, learning and teaching process based on the students’ profile and on the labor market needs. In this manner, universities could offer IT companies information about their IT students’ profile and behavior. Our paper proposes a data mining and social network analysis to examine IT students’ skills and behavior in order to generate their actual profile. The results contribute to the development of knowledge concerning the IT graduates’ profile and based on this, a solution that might match the university curricula with the labor market requirements. Finally, the results attempt to provide IT companies with information with the aim of better understanding the IT students’ profile and to create a realistic description of the job in the recruitment software on the digital market.
