    Title: The Innovation program's importance for its students - Valuable criteria for an innovation education from a business sector perspective.Author: Kristina Gern and Jesper ModighTutor: Peter Selegård, Mälardalen UniversitySubject: Innovation ManagementKeywords: Innovation, Education, entrepreneurship, creativityProblem:The Innovations program  has a problem with that many students are unsure whether their programs are a good basis to apply for jobs in the current segment in the future. This is based on conversations with students of the Innovation program and the authors own experiences.

    Purpose:The purpose of this paper is to clarify the value of the innovation program for its students when they enter the labor market. Teachers and program managers must also have an easier way to explain the innovation program and its objectives and the prospects that exist for innovation students. By this the authors hope that innovative student anxiety about the future decreases.Methodology:The methods used in this paper is a qualitative interview as well as quantitative surveys among students and the labor market.Findings/Conclusion:The Innovation programs students' uncertainty lies in that there isn’t a clear picture of what they might work with in the future. This is because the innovation program offers so many different directions that almost every graduate of the program is unique. This in turn means that the jobs that students eventually may find differ greatly from each other. In the end, it’s the students themselves through their focus through the program and what they seek out after graduation that determines what they can become and that’s something no staff at IMTO can predict.In a company survey it was read that the labor market desires engineers and innovators with a focus on product innovation. To meet these criteria students should choose the direction industrial design or IT entrepreneur in the innovation program. Labor market believes that knowledge of different CAD and CAM programs are important. These programs are educated at industrial design. However, it remains unclear what jobs students get who have chosen other specializations.

    IMTO can use the conclusions and the analysis is to better describe the future market for its students.Practical implications:  The Innovation program is a unique program that gives students the opportunity to receive two degrees, which gives a competitive advantage and good employment opportunities at graduation. For the labor market, the Innovation program is valuable because it gives a stream of well-educated entrepreneurs that through business economics, psychology, industrial design and information technology combined with innovation has a unique knowledge of both the traditional disciplines but also the rethinking of innovation.IMTO can use the conclusions and the analysis is to better describe the future market for its students.
