Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution has had a significant impact on the global market, leading to
increased competition among firms. Consequently, employers are seeking highly skilled
employees who can provide substantial value to their organizations. In response, universities have
established career services departments to prepare students for the job market. The primary
objective of these departments is to assist students in discovering and defining their career paths
and achieving their career goals. Ashesi University, like most institutions, has a career services
department that requires digitalization to effectively streamline departmental activities and provide
students with high-quality career guidance and services. This paper proposes a web application
called Career Buddy to aid the Ashesi Career Services Department in enhancing its services. The
proposed solution aims to facilitate departmental activities and ensure that students have easy
access to career guidance and opportunities. The successful implementation of the proposed
solution would enable the Ashesi Career Services Department to efficiently manage its resources
and provide students with top-notch career guidance and services. By using Career Buddy, students
would have access to a comprehensive suite of career resources and services, enabling them to
make informed career decisions and achieve their career goals. Ultimately, this web application
would be a valuable asset to the university's career services department and would contribute to
the institution's efforts to prepare students for the job market.
