ABSTRACT

In the post-pandemic era, university graduates face multiple employment challenges, including job market contraction, intensified competition, and skills mismatch, which have further exacerbated the disconnection between traditional higher education models and labor market demands. Based on an empirical analysis of the current employment landscape, this study proposes a systematic strategy from the collaborative perspective of universities, faculty, and students. By optimizing curricula, strengthening practical platforms, innovating teaching methods, enhancing psychological support, and fostering comprehensive skills, a "demand-driven, competency-based" pathway for improving employability is constructed, providing theoretical and practical insights for addressing graduate employment challenges.
