This study aims to estimate the waiting period category of alums based on the ability of alums to graduate when they are related to the waiting period category and design software that can predict the waiting period category of alums by classification method. The method applied is CRISPDM. The data used is tracer study data in 2021 with 4,734 records. With a significant level of 5% . , it was found that the waiting period category had a positive and detrimental relationship with the variables of GPA. Waiting Period. First Work Province. First Income. Ethics. Expertise, and English language ability. In this study, 10-fold cross-validation was applied, which resulted in the accuracy of the decision tree algorithm of 84. 33%, the K-NN algorithm of 75. 45%, the Naive Bayes Classifier algorithm of 21%, and the Random Forest algorithm of 84. Furthermore, a different test (T-Tes. was carried out, which showed that the Naive Bayes Classifier algorithm was the most dominant algorithm among the other three algorithms so that it could classify and predict the waiting period category well. This study concludes that applying the Nayve Bayes algorithm can effectively predict the waiting period for alums to get a job. The implication of this study is the development of web-based software that educational institutions can use to analyze the waiting period of alumni, provide recommendations for educational policies, and assist students in planning better career Introduction In the global landscape, the employment rate among university graduates has become an essential indicator of the success of educational institutions. The increasing competitiveness in the job market and rapid technological advances have significantly impacted the employability skills of graduates (Iswahyudi et al. , 2. The ability to predict alums's waiting period for obtaining a job is a valuable asset for universities in Indonesian Journal of Social Technology. Vol. No. February 2025 Shelly Putri. Ken Ditha Tania evaluating the effectiveness of their curriculum and teaching methods (Murniati et al. In the world of education, the success rate of alums in obtaining jobs after graduation is an important indicator for educational institutions in evaluating the quality of education provided (Andrean & Utami, 2024. Brilliant et al. , 2023. Widhiantoyo. Therefore, educational institutions such as Sriwijaya University must understand the factors affecting the waiting period for alums to obtain jobs. The Alumni Waiting Period in Getting a Job technique can be used to predict the length of time it will take for an alum to get a job after graduation. (Afifah et al. , 2. Colleges play an important role in improving human education. The right curriculum and educational strategies can produce high-quality students. Colleges must also precisely determine students' career prospects. (Widhiantoyo, 2. The ability to estimate alums's chances of getting a job can be valuable information for colleges. Universities can use this information to assess the effectiveness of the curriculum and teaching methods applied so far and produce graduates ready to compete in the world of Tracer Study is one of the important methods universities use to supervise alums after they complete their education and enter the world of work. The National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) makes the Tracer Study one of the assessments and is also used as one of the requirements for accreditation completeness. in the context of the accreditation process, data from alum tracking is often one of the parameters that are highly considered. (Rahmi, 2. One of the parameters measured is the waiting period for alums to find a job. This data provides valuable insights into the extent to which educational institutions can prepare their graduates for the world of work. Therefore, implementing alum tracking and waiting period prediction is a strategic step in improving the quality of education and meeting accreditation standards. Of course, with the help of many alums, this data can be processed to find new valuable knowledge for Sriwijaya University. This aligns with the definition of data mining, which is finding relationships or patterns from the many fields in a relational The Nayve Bayes algorithm is a classification method based on Bayesian probability theory that predicts specific categories based on historical data. (Adnyana, 2020. Amalia & Wibowo, 2. This algorithm is applied to the 2021 Sriwijaya University alum tracer study data to predict the waiting time for alums to get jobs. The classification process determines whether an alum will get a job within 6 months or less or more than 6 months after graduation. This algorithm works by assuming that each variable used in the prediction is independent of each other, so the calculation is more efficient even though the dataset used is quite large. In this study, predictions were made based on several variables that affected the waiting period of alums, such as GPA, study period, province where they worked for the first time, first income, work ethics, skills, and English language skills. The main advantage of Nayve Bayes' algorithm in this study is its ability to process large amounts Indonesian Journal of Social Technology.

In addition, this algorithm has been proven to handle variables with a non-linear relationship and provide more accurate classification results than other methods tested. The implementation of Nayve Bayes in this prediction system is carried out by designing a web-based application where users can fill out questionnaires related to factors that affect the waiting period for work. Once the data is entered, the system processes the information using the Nayve Bayes algorithm and displays the prediction results in two categories of waiting periods (Rachmadiansyah et al. , 2. According To Rachmawati & Miasary, . Confusion matrix testing and accuracy value are methods to measure the effectiveness of the two algorithms. The test results show that the C5. 0 algorithm performs better than the Naive Bayes algorithm, which can be seen from the accuracy value of the C5. 0 algorithm, which is 94. compared to the Naive Bayes algorithm, which is 91. This study uses data mining with the C5. 0 algorithm and Nave Bayes to predict the pattern of graduates of the mathematics study program at UIN Walisongo Semarang in the category of graduating on time and not on time. This research focuses on applying data mining techniques, specifically the Nayve Bayes classification method, to predict the waiting time for graduates to get jobs. The novelty of this research lies in the extensive use of alum data from the Career Development Center of Sriwijaya University (CDC Unsr. to develop a predictive model with high accuracy. Unlike previous studies that only examined the correlation between academic performance and employment, this study integrates a variety of factors, including regional employment trends and individual competencies, to improve The increasing need for data-driven decision-making in higher education drives the urgency of this research. Universities must optimize the curriculum and career guidance services to improve graduates' employability skills. By implementing a predictive model, institutions can identify areas for improvement and better prepare students for the This study aims to develop a system that can predict the waiting period for alums to get a job using the classification method. The data that will be used is alum data that has been successfully collected by the UPT Center for Character Development and Alumni Management of Sriwijaya University, which is often known as the Career Development Center of Sriwijaya University (CDC Unsr. through filling out the Sriwijaya University tracer study questionnaire in 2021 by Sriwijaya University graduates who have completed their studies in 2020. The tracer study questionnaire consists of many question items. Of the many questions in the questionnaire, this research only focuses on attributes related to the waiting period for alums to get a job. The research aims to study and apply data mining with a nayve Bayes approach to predict the time for alums to get a job. It involves Supporting Sriwijaya University alums who have graduated to get an idea of the estimated waiting time for getting a job and designing software to predict the waiting time of alums to get a job using the Nayve Bayes Indonesian Journal of Social Technology.

(Sinaga & Suwilo, 2. In this study, the type of data used is sequential data. Secondary data is data obtained through intermediaries because Peranta has collected the data. The intermediary in this study is the CDC of Sriwijaya University. The data used and processed for this final project research amounted to approximately 4734 data records, namely the 2021 alum tracer The data used is in Excel (. The data collection method carried out during the research process is to directly request research data from the authorities for the data, namely the CDC of Sriwijaya University. The data analysis technique was carried out by applying the Nayve Bayes Classifier algorithm to predict the category of alum waiting period in obtaining a job. The 10-fold validation method carried out the validation process, followed by a differential test (T-Tes. to determine the best algorithm among Nayve Bayes. Decision Tree. K-NN, and Random Forest.

This success shows that the system is ready for use in an operational environment and performs as expected. However, further performance, scalability, and user experience testing can improve the system. This study discusses the application of the Nayve Bayes algorithm in predicting the waiting period for Sriwijaya University alums to get a job. The results show that the Nayve Bayes algorithm is more accurate than other algorithms such as Decision Tree. K-NN, and Random Forest. With an accuracy of 85. 21%, the algorithm can effectively classify alum waiting period categories into two groups: less than six months and more than six In addition, this study identified several variables that affect the waiting period of alums, including GPA, waiting period, province of first place of employment, first income, ethics, expertise, and English proficiency. However, it was found that the variables of the study period and the type of first job had a very low correlation with the waiting period of graduation. While this study shows that Nayve Bayes' algorithm excels at classifying alums' waiting periods, several research gaps can be explored further: Variations of Factors Affecting Alumni Waiting PeriodThis study only considers a few factors in predicting the alum waiting period. Further studies may include other factors such as work experience while in college, organizational activities, and internship involvement. Although the study compared four algorithms, other algorithms, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) or Deep Learning, can still be tested to see if they can produce more accurate prediction results. Validation with Data from Other UniversitiesThis research data only comes from Sriwijaya University. Further studies can use data from other universities to test the reliability of the developed model. The AI-based prediction Systems developed in this study are web-based, using the Nayve Bayes approach. Further research can develop artificial intelligence-based systems with more complex machine learning models to improve prediction accuracy. Conclusion Based on the analysis of the Application of the Nayve Bayes Algorithm in Predicting the Waiting Period for Alumni to Get a Job (Case Study: Sriwijaya Universit. it can be concluded that: . There are several variables related to the Alumni Waiting Period Category with a very low correlation level, including: Study Period and Type of First Job. In this study, the nayve Bayes classifier algorithm is the most superior algorithm compared to the decision tree. K-NN, and random forest algorithms with an accuracy level of 85.
