Abstract

The employment difficulty of college students has become a “problem that cannot be ignored”. Although many new graduates are struggling to find a satisfying job and many manufacturing job opportunities still need young people’s blood to fill, it seems that many people are reluctant to take up such jobs, even if they cannot find work in other fields. Regardless of the education quality gap and benchmark for entrance for universities and junior colleges, undergraduates do not have a higher employment rate than that of junior college students. Thus, the paper aims to discuss the recent employment situation of undergraduates and junior college graduates, and to further analyze the reasons behind the difference between the two situations. Based on the collection and analysis of public information/data, combined with the method of literature review, this paper indicates that reasons behind the employment difficulties are rather multivariate, which includes but not limit to the imbalanced market demand, personal psychological factor and recent policies. Vocational education enhancement could be one of the solutions to the essential issues.
