Abstract
Based on the Career EDGE model, this study improved the employability scale of college students from applied universities in China, and designed a questionnaire to investigate the current situation of employability of graduates from three applied universities in the S region of China. The questionnaire data were analyzed and explored for internal consistency reliability. Sexual factor analysis and T test analysis.Statistical results show that the employability of graduates from applied universities is above average. Among them, personal characteristics, professional knowledge and skills, and emotional intelligence have been relatively well cultivated, but they lack the ability to cultivate career planning. There are significant differences in the employability of college students with different identities, different majors, whether they are only children, and whether they have specialties. There are no significant differences in gender, different places of origin, and different family environments. Based on the statistical results and combined with the characteristics of application-oriented universities, it is proposed that universities should build employment guidance platforms for students, enrich professional training, and expand multiple employment channels. Students should make their own career plans and strengthen communication with tutors to obtain more appropriate employment guidance.
