In other words, a combination of a student and a company is created that is a part-time job company that is in line with the student's intention and that the student matches the conditions registered by the part-time job company.

3) Notification of matching result: server 1
If the matching is performed in step S103 and there is a corresponding company, the fact is notified to the student by electronic mail (step S105). The matching result may be displayed when an access is made from the client machine 2a on the student side without the notification by e-mail. Further, this notice may be given to the company side. Through this notification, students are notified of candidates for companies that can work part-time. Server 1 is step S1
After 05, is there any access from the client machine 2a on the student side? If it is judged (step S107) and there is access, the client machine 2 on the student side
The company searched by the matching is displayed on the screen of a (step S109). This display content is the content recorded in the company information file 121 and the job offer information file 122.

4) Selection of company: The student selects a desired company from the notified companies on the screen of the client machine 2a and inputs selection information according to the instruction on the screen. The server 1 is a client machine 2a
Then, the part-time job company selected by the student acquires something (step S111).

When there is a reply from the company in 115, the contents of the reply from the company are notified to each student on the list notified to the company by e-mail (step S117).
When the hiring is decided, the fact that the hiring is decided from the student or the company side to the server 1 means that each client machine 2
It is notified via a, 3a. Has Server 1 been selected for adoption by this notification? Is determined (step S
119).

8) Selection of Evaluation Item: When the hiring is decided, the server 1 sends an e-mail and prompts the student to select the item to be evaluated by the hired part-time company. The student connects to the server 1 via the client machine 2a and selects an evaluation item from the evaluation item input screen. This evaluation item can be selected on the server 1 side from the beginning, leaving no room for the student to select. Selection of this evaluation item is performed as follows, for example. The skill information file 112 indicates the goals (profession desired in the future) when the student first registered personal information.
Read from and achieve that goal (get the profession)
The necessary skills (professions) and aptitudes are selected from a pre-stored database, and a first list of evaluation items is created. From the list, select the items that are expected to be cultivated in carrying out the business of the company adopted this time, and create the second list. The second list is displayed on the display screen of the student's client machine 2a, and all the second lists are used as evaluation items. Alternatively, the item selected by the student from the second list is used as the evaluation item.

As an example, when the future goal is a diplomat, the database is searched for items such as skill and aptitude to become a diplomat. For example, it is assumed that the items are integrity, elaboration, sociability, communication ability, leadership ability, language ability, and the like. If your first part-time job is a sales clerical worker, integrity, precision,
If it is expected that aptitude such as sociability and patience will be acquired, then honesty, meticulousness, and sociability are selected as evaluation items from these. Students can further select from these items and narrow down the evaluation items. The evaluation item selected by the student is acquired by the server 1 via the client machine 2a (step S121) and recorded in the evaluation information file 13.

9) Input of evaluation: The company that hired the student inputs the evaluation of the student's working attitude to the server via the client machine 3. The server 1 records the acquired evaluation in the evaluation information file (step S12).
3). At the time of input, the client machine is connected to the server 1 via the Internet, and the company's ID and password are input. This will bring up a connection screen that displays a list of students currently working at the company. When the student's nomination to be entered is specified from the list, the evaluation item input screen for that student appears. For the predetermined evaluation items, check boxes of ranks A to E are displayed.

The person in charge of evaluation inputs the evaluation contents in that item, and also inputs items such as working hours, number of days, lateness, absenteeism, and early leave. Furthermore, a comment section is provided, and the evaluation for students can be arbitrarily entered. Such input of evaluation items is periodically performed at predetermined intervals, for example, one week or one month. Alternatively, the student may enter the evaluation items at the end of working in the company. In this way, the evaluation information of one student is accumulated in the evaluation information file.

This evaluation information is acquired (step S1)
23), the current ability of the student is determined based on the evaluation information accumulated in the evaluation information file 13 (step S125). The contents of the judgment are as follows. First
Indicates each evaluation rank in the current evaluation item as it is. Secondly, the determination is made in consideration of the degree of growth in consideration of changes in evaluation over time. For example, if the evaluation rank changes from E to D to C within a short period of time while continuing to work, it is determined as C ++, and if the evaluation rank also changes from A to B, B- To determine. Thirdly, the evaluation is performed in consideration of the relationship with the job type. For example, if a person in a responsible position (for example, a manager) dramatically improves the evaluation rank, a dash is added to the evaluation rank (for example, communication ability A ′: manager) along with the occupation. To do. Further, although not related to a specific evaluation, in addition to the evaluation rank, comments and the like (subjective evaluation information) input from each company are displayed as they are along with the type of industry and job category as the determination result.

10) Browsing the evaluation contents / judgment contents: The contents of the evaluation and the judgment contents input from the company side can be viewed by the students as appropriate. Student is client machine 2a
Connect to the server 1 via the Internet,
By entering D and the password, the current self-evaluation content can be known. The contents of this evaluation can be useful for creating the next skill improvement plan.

Does the server 1 have a browsing connection from students? (Step S127), and if there is no connection, the evaluation items are not changed thereafter, and the process is skipped to step S135. If there is a connection,
The evaluation contents and the judgment contents are displayed on the display screen of the client machine 2a (step S129).

Based on the display result output on this display screen, the student can add, change, or delete evaluation items on the display screen of the client machine 2a. For example, when the rank of integrity is A, the integrity can be deleted from the item and leadership can be added to the evaluation item in order to acquire different suitability. It is determined whether or not such items are added, changed, or deleted (step S131), and if these items are input, the evaluation items of the evaluation information file 13 are modified (step S1).
33). If the evaluation item has not been modified, step S1
Return to 03.

In step S103, a matching process is further performed so as to select a company in an industry expected to acquire different skills and aptitudes based on the determined contents. In this way, steps S103 to S133 (see FIG.
In the time chart of 3), evaluations are accumulated by repeating 3) to 9)), and by feeding back evaluation contents, changes (improvement) in skills and aptitude can be efficiently supported for the growth of students. Furthermore, the accurate evaluation of actual social activities will be made more accurately by the professionals of the profession, and a highly credible evaluation of the individual's ability will be obtained.

For example, as shown in the evaluation information file data of FIG. 7, in the company that first worked, the clerical work and the sincerity were improved by getting the clerical work, but the sociability was insufficient. Was determined. Next, the server 1 introduced a customer service clerk in the service industry, who is expected to acquire sociability, and communication ability was added to the evaluation items.

While continuing to work, it is determined that the sociability and communication ability have improved, and it is determined that each ability has relatively improved by taking on a responsible job type of manager. . And
Finally, the server 1 can introduce the boy of the hotel to the students, acquire the language ability, and finally acquire the skills and aptitude necessary for the target occupation.

11) Request for Issuing Evaluation / CV: Step S
When the student makes a request (step S135), the determination content by 125 is issued to the student as an evaluation document including a description of the part-time job history (step S137).
In this evaluation document 20, the same contents as those displayed on the display screen of the client machine 2a in step S129 are described. If there is no request from the student (step S135), the process returns to step S103.

The contents of the description (judgment) including the part-time job history can be selected by the student. The selection of the described contents is performed via the client machine 2. Such an evaluation document can be an effective material for guaranteeing the ability of the student when it is used as a material when the student graduates from the school and finds a job in the general enterprise 30. Considering that it can be a useful material for finding a job in the future, it is expected that students will be more likely to work positively at the part-time job where they use this skill up support device. Further, even a company that accepts part-time students has the advantage that a high-quality work force can be obtained by hiring students using this skill-up support device.

In the above-mentioned configuration, the selection of a part-time job by a student is taken as an example, but a part, a so-called part-time worker, etc. can use the device of the present invention as a service provider, and the service requesting entity Not limited to a company, it may be an individual or the like.
