Abstract

In recent years vocational education has seen rapid development in China. Vocational education is increasingly emphasizing the integration of industry and education to enhance students' employability. With the expansion of vocational education, ensuring the quality of education and the relevance of training is a challenge that requires a study of the current status and problems in the development of employability of students in vocational colleges and universities, as well as effective strategies to improve them. The overall level of employability of vocational college graduates is rather average, and we need to come up with appropriate strategies to adapt to the constant changes in the job market and the economy and society. This paper proposes a series of improvement measures for the employability of students in higher vocational colleges, discussing that students should improve their professional knowledge, communication and interpersonal skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, innovation, emotional regulation, self-awareness and self-management, and teamwork skills.
