Abstract
Sommario I social media possono essere uno strumento importante per gli studenti per sviluppare e migliorare competenze utili alla loro occupabilità. Questo documento riporta i risultati di un sondaggio, condotto presso il College Tecnologico dello Stato di Osun (Nigeria), che ha permesso uno studio sull'uso dei social media LinkedIn, YouTube, WhatsApp, Facebook e Twitter, con lo scopo di evidenziare come questi influenzino l’acquisizione di competenze da parte degli studenti a vantaggio della loro occupabilità. Lo studio ha adottato un approccio di progettazione quantitativa e ha coinvolto un campione randomizzato di 354 studenti. A tale scopo è stato utilizzato uno strumento denominato "Utilizzo della piattaforma dei social media e questionario sulle competenze occupazionali degli studenti (SMSESPQ)". I dati sono stati analizzati utilizzando diverse modalità statistiche di regressione. I risultati hanno mostrato che l'uso dei social media, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp e Twitter, ha contribuito in modo significativo alle capacità di occupabilità degli studenti e che essi stessi ne hanno percepito lo stesso vantaggio.
