The research results indicate that: in terms of personal professional qualities, students generally perform well, but there is still a gap between students individual competence; in terms of school employment guidance, students are short of employment information and career planning; in terms of the social employment environment, students pay insufficient attention to the government's supportive employment policies and are unfamiliar with the current employment environment.
