The Efficacy and Pathways of Ideological and Political Education in Promoting High-Quality Employment for College Students

Abstract

With the spread of higher education and changes in the job market, the focus of the problem of college students' employment has shifted from how many are employed to how well they are employed. Ideological and political education lays the foundation for nurturing people's values and sense of self; therefore, it is closely related to high-quality employment, and a systematic explanation of this relationship is urgently needed. First, how do value internalisation and career-orientation alignment work together to form the standard for career selection under the influence of ideological and political education needs to be determined. Next, we will explore the reasons for the change in proactive behaviour from individual awareness to career planning, study the formation logic of psychological capital and resilience in employment, and determine how ideological and political education can promote autonomy and strengthen resilience. The three functions of ideological and political education are to organise the cognitive system, meet the demands of development and nurture a sense of social responsibility. Therefore, the three positive ways to achieve this are the full integration of the curriculum system, the cultivation and creation of a cultural atmosphere, and joint promotion by individuals and groups. Based on the above research, ideological and political education can improve the quality of employment by cultivating people's values and beliefs, sense of identity, etc., in an all-encompassing way.
