the outcome of their hard work
and commitment to their personal

academic achievement with practi-

hence demonstrate their compe-
tency through various strategic
actions. Also through their hard
work, sacrifice and strong commit-
ment to academic endeavor,there
are many opportunity costs that
they have incurred in order to
reach their destination.
Not only that the knowledge they
gained, especially in these days,
firms and organizations around the
world are using IT to support their
business operations, and as such
they need IT experts. This chal-
lenge requires organizations to ac-
quire and use relevant IT based
techniques. These techniques will
enable organizations to identify IT-
based applications, which corre-
spond to the organization’s needs.
