Abstract

“Career Development and Employment Guidance for University Students” is a compulsory course offered by higher education institutions, serving as an essential form of employment counseling for students. It plays a significant role in shaping students’ vocational literacy and enhancing their employability, thereby addressing the issue of employment pressure faced by university students. This paper investigates the existing issues in the teaching of “Career Development and Employment Guidance for University Students” and proposes specific measures to improve the quality of instruction: adopting a practice-oriented approach, optimizing teaching methods, and fostering a diverse teaching faculty. The implementation of these measures has yielded positive results, as evidenced by students’ enthusiastic participation, the cultivation of a proper career outlook, and the enhancement of students’ vocational planning and employability, ultimately leading to high-level employment outcomes.
