Dr. Ghaffari deemed it essential to establish an informational system to raise awareness among stakeholders regarding the employment status of each academic field and emphasized: Creating this system would clarify and inform students who, by monitoring statistics and information about educational fields, can reduce the unemployment rate of university graduates through informed and correct field selections.

It is noteworthy that in this regard, Qom University of Technology, with the support of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology, has established the Beta Innovation Center to support student startups and idea-holding students.
