Survey on the Current Employment Intentions of Preschool Education Majors--A Case Study of H College in Hohhot

2025-08-01T08:15:41+00:00

Employment is the cornerstone of people's livelihoods. In his report at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping explicitly proposed the implementation of an employment-first strategy to promote high-quality and adequate employment. In recent years, the total number of university graduates entering the job market has continued to rise, with college students facing a severe employment situation. This year (2025), the number of university graduates is expected to reach 12.22 million, setting a new record high. However, the irrational industrial structure and supply-demand imbalance in the job market have further exacerbated the severity of the employment situation. Therefore, conducting research on the employment situation of higher education institutions and the implementation of employment policies is an urgent task. Private higher education institutions have unique characteristics in terms of their educational nature and student population. Studying the employment intentions of students from private higher education institutions, as well as the implementation and effectiveness of employment policies, holds significant practical significance and aligns with current policy needs.

This research project takes H Private Higher Education Institution in Hohhot City as its research object, primarily employing research methods such as questionnaire surveys, interviews, and literature reviews. By distributing questionnaires to understand the employment intentions of early childhood education majors, targeted employment guidance is provided based on students' employment intentions, and students are helped to establish correct and reasonable employment perspectives, thereby improving the employment rate of university graduates. The research findings indicate that universities in Hohhot actively implement and enforce employment policies, striving to promote university student employment. However, in actual employment work, efforts primarily focus on promoting student employment through macro-level employment policies, lacking targeted employment guidance and a deep understanding of students' employment needs. Survey results revealed that 51.02% of students were uncertain about whether they would pursue careers related to their majors, while only 26.53% were certain they would pursue such careers. This indicates that current college students are confused about their career directions. Universities should, while implementing employment policies, gain a deeper understanding of college students' employment needs to address their employment issues effectively and assist them in achieving high-quality employment.
