| dc.description.abstract | Even with the possibility of discrepancies between acquired credentials and
professional requirements, the field of employment options continues to be the most common
area heavily impacted by higher education. Since there is controversy regarding the essence
and scope of employability, evaluating the efficacy of educational institutions in reducing the
barriers to employment experienced by students and graduates remains challenging. The
research’s main aim is to contribute a thorough insight of the variables influencing
undergraduate students' opinions of their employability. More than 400 undergraduate students
from the Vietnam National University area participated in the study, which used a customized
questionnaire and a quantitative methodology as its main data collection tools. The model is
applied through multiple regression analysis and descriptive analysis to the qualified data set
of 386 respondents. The resulted model distinguishes the self-perceived employability
construct, which includes seven key components: skills, market-value capital, academic
performance, social capital, psychological capital, career guidance, and career self management.
This multimodal approach fosters a deeper understanding of how the development of
employability pathways improves students' job prospects by providing nuanced insights into
the complex network of employability. Employability programs can be more effectively
assessed and customized to fulfill the demands of individual participants when stakeholders,
such as the Vietnamese government, academic institutions, and organizations, see
employability within the framework of a comprehensive approach. Ultimately, this approach
will facilitate undergraduate students' smoother transition into the workforce and promote their
long-term career success. | en_US |
