At the present time, choosing, educating and maintaining a qualified human resource is a critical element facing organizations. Organization managers, make an objective and accurate assessment of human resources selection in order to make their organizations more efficient and creative and for this they have to evaluate the candidates' knowledge, skills and competencies. Working life and opportunities are changing day by day and different occupations and job positions are emerging. Graduates with different qualifications and competencies are requested in the job positions. This situation requires more responsibility and necessity to having qualified and competency to graduates. Presently, policies towards shaping education according to the economy are gaining momentum throughout the world. This change has become a requirement with the change of technology, and it is pointed out that the new technologies require new knowledge and skills, and education update to meet these requirements. There is a new industrial revolution that is defined by concepts such as factories, cyber systems and the internet of objects that work with smart systems. With this revolution, it is emphasized that the business processes, the qualifications of the labor force, the production processes will change and the education must change in this direction (Buyruk, 2018). One of the main goals of universities is to prepare graduates for the business world. Achieving this goal successfully is challenging in all areas, but it seems more difficult for areas such as information systems (IS), information technology (IT), computer science (CS) and management information systems (MIS). Developing technologies and computer systems, it is part of the ever growing IT sector. The constantly evolving sector has variable structure, this situation leads to different business needs. As the field changes and evolves quickly, it is important for graduates to keep the faculty information update. It is important to determine not only the new positions needed, but also the specific tasks and responsibilities needed for each of these new positions. This also requires educators to regularly change and update their curricula and course contents, so that graduates have the knowledge, skills and competencies they need to perform their tasks in business areas (Davis and Woodward, 2006:11). Today, knowledge, skills and competencies enable the diversification of career opportunities to individuals who need to creating new business lines or specialization in different fields (Sönger, 2018: 10). The competence approach is implemented in many management areas such as management skills and human resources management. Managers are expected to improve their competencies in order to be efficient, human resource managers write and define job descriptions and fulfill recruitment and selection procedures by enumerating and assessing the competencies of future employees. Training and development needs are determined on the competencies required for doing the job (Vokić and Rimac, 2012: 713).
