Abstract

One of key indicator of higher education accreditation is the absorption of its alumni in the world of work. The Faculty of Engineering, at Medan State University does not yet have a special forum that carries out the function of providing information on job opportunities for the alumni and yet establishing cooperation with the employer to integrate the system. Therefore, this study aims to design an Alumni and Career Development Center web-based application to connect the Business World and the Industrial World with the alumni that can be accessed by alumni and employer online. The Agile Method, UML, the PHP programming language, and the MariaDB database engine is used in designing the system. However, the system still needs to be improved in integrating the process of candidates selection. Based on the testing data, shows the results which indicate the system is reliable to be implemented.
