Abstract
This study focuses on the School of Education and Psychology at S University, investigating the current status, existing problems, and improvement strategies of college student employment guidance. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining questionnaire surveys and interviews, and utilizes mean values and standard deviations for data analysis. The results indicate that student satisfaction is relatively low in areas such as employment market development, homeschool communication, recruitment activity organization, and full-process support, reflecting deficiencies in resource integration, service system structure, and information feedback mechanisms. To enhance the effectiveness of employment guidance, the study proposes several recommendations, such as 1) strengthening university-enterprise cooperation and diversifying guidance formats, 2) improving home-school collaboration and introducing industry experts and alumni to the process, 3) enhancing organizational coordination and innovating diverse recruitment forms, and 4) reinforcing comprehensive employment tracking and graduate information management. The findings offer valuable insights for higher education institutions seeking to improve their employment guidance systems and enhance students’ employment quality.
