Tourism Education: Using Curriculum Mapping to Shorten the Gap between Learning and Applying

Abstract

As higher education is common in Taiwan, university graduates not only face the problem of unemployment, but often have to take up jobs that are not related to their discipline. The objective of this study is to understand whether the curriculum mapping system function is able to assist graduates in their job selection. This study revealed a correlation between “the first recommended job” and the “current job”, thus verifying the practicality of curriculum mapping with integrated job recommendation functions.
