Most the Russian higher education institutions faced a problem of the low level of employment of graduates in the specialty. Reasons for that weight. The most widespread of them — a lack of information on the offered vacancies and prospects of career development, internal uncertainty in the forces for start of a labor activity and, as a result, lack of motivation to search of the best option of employment. In a case with IT specialties the situation becomes complicated also the fact that the sphere of their application is rather limited, most of employers needs highly skilled IT specialists with experience, so to find the good offer in labor market to the student even more difficult. Specialists of ICL company System technologies, proceeding from own practices and long-term experience of projects implementation in the field of human capital management, developed technical solution "The career portal", capable to bring work with students to essentially new level.

The Innopolis University acted as the pilot platform on approbation of the solution. And as at this higher education institution of the specified problems with employment of graduates does not arise, creation of the uniform interactive platform for interaction of students, the University Innopolis and employers - residents of the Innopolis SEZ and implementation of the new, praktiko-focused mechanisms of training and systematic "prokachivaniye" of competences of students based on employers became the key purpose of implementation of "The career portal".

Within interaction "student higher education institution": the student receives recommendations from the teachers and from coaches of employers based on training, the higher education institution analyzes the overall level of demand of students and carries out extra work with the least demanded of them.

"One of features of the University Innopolis is active involvement of university in process of employment of graduates. Our purpose — 100% - employment of graduates within 3 months — Aliya Samatova tells, the vice rector — the head of department of development of the University Innopolis — at the same time "The career portal" is not just an analog of resources on job search, it also the instrument of monitoring of career of graduates and the analysis of the competences created by the university. Analytic functions of the portal which we are going to implement as the next step will allow to draw indirectly conclusions about demand of graduates among the target companies and the competences which are in addition required to the market. For example, compliance of competences of graduates to profiles of vacancies can be analyzed both on the closed positions, and according to negative summaries, degree of a covering of vacancies competences of graduates of target segments of the industry — according to the analysis of vacancies on which any graduate did not approach. The portal becomes the instrument of joining of education and the companies in broad understanding of this interaction".
