Select ideasA) To create a state enterprises where recent graduates can work his first year (aimed at achieving improvements in the quality of life of the citizens of the country) and you can apply for a second year
The idea seeks to create a "soft work" transition from graduate to the real job market. In this case the State will benefit from the fresh ideas and free minds of more recent graduates to improve the quality of life in the country, and the graduate will benefit by the experience of working in difficult socio-economic contexts, besides having a smoother transition from college to work
B) Create an University program "Developing soft skills": theater classes, relaxation, body and oral communication, etc.
This idea is oriented to develope soft skills (universities do not deliver this ones generally) and in those days the job market really need it. For example, how to be empathetic with the costumers?, How improve my ability to share with others?, How to avoid stress?, Etc..
The software only contrasted this information and select graduates/jobs with major coincidences
