New University Graduate Recruitment and Employment after COVID-19

Abstract

　 This study examined the impact of COVID-19 on new university graduate recruitment and employment. The current university graduate situation employment under COVID-19 is primarily because of a reduction in available employment. Therefore, if the number of unemployed people continues to increase, it is expected that the debates about the value of university education will reignite. While there has been some focus on the adoption of “job-based employment,” technical qualifications are being given preferential treatment, but the conventional clerical / technical framework remains vague. If new university graduates are treated as elites, even if it appears hopeful, it may be difficult to popularize and establish “job based employment” as it is not considered “membership based employment,” which has unlimited jobs and workplaces. It was found that the desire to attend university may increase, which could affect the university expectations.
