Discussion on Strategies for Employment Planning and Development of Local University Students: An Investigation and Analysis of Employment Pressure and Career Decision-Making

Abstract

This study examined the employment pressure and career decision-making abilities of students at local universities. A total of 160 undergraduates from a university in Quzhou participated in the research. The findings indicated that both employment pressure and career decision-making abilities among these students were at a moderate level. Notably, senior students experienced significantly higher employment pressure compared to their junior counterparts, and students from county seats and towns reported the highest levels of pressure. Based on these findings, the study proposes strategies to support the career development of local university students, aiming to offer a theoretical reference for enhancing university employment guidance and planning.
