Study on Career Planning Ability Development for Vocational Students
Abstract
This study aims to explore the current state of vocational career planning competence among secondary vocational students and the pathways to optimize it. By analyzing the primary issues faced by these students in the process of career planning, including ambiguous career awareness, a mismatch between career interests and actual abilities, and a lack of clear future career goals, this research further elucidates the influencing factors. The study identifies several ongoing problems within current secondary vocational education, such as insufficient career planning curriculum, weak career consciousness among students, and a lack of practical opportunities and resource support. The paper proposes strategies to enhance vocational career planning competence, including strengthening career planning courses and education, establishing personalized career guidance services, and increasing practical activities and social practice opportunities. The research concludes that through multi-dimensional educational reforms and practical support, the career planning competence of secondary vocational students can be effectively enhanced, thereby helping them make informed and rational career choices, thus fostering their professional development and social adaptability.
