“…Respondent 1's remark that "our current programs don't cater well to students with special needs or those from diverse backgrounds" highlighted a crucial concern. Scholars argued that the adaptability of career guidance programs is essential for inclusivity, ensuring that students with diverse needs receive adequate support Santilli et al, [26]. The acknowledgement of this limitation suggests a potential gap in accommodating the unique requirements of students with special needs.…”

Aims: The study aim to explore the perceptions of teachers on their roles as career guidance providers on the challenges and opportunities associated with guiding students towards career pathways Study Design: Using qualitative methodology, Participants of this study were carefully chosen as experienced career guidance masters from the selected schools in Katsina State. The data was gathered through semi-structured interview and which is guided by a validated interview protocol linked with the research objective. Place and Duration of Study: Secondary schools of Katsina State Nigeria between December 2023 and April 2024. Methodology: We included 10 teachers (5 men, 5 women; age range 25-55 years) with teaching experience. The data collected was carefully analysed using ATLAS.ti 23 software to draw the schematic diagrams leading to discuss each theme and category based on existing literature. Results: From the findings, two main themes emerged from the analyses; “effectiveness of career guidance program and teachers' engagement”. From each of the two themes, three categories emerged with various quotations from the participants. These quotations were used to inform the development of more responsive and impactful career guidance initiatives within various educational institutions in Katsina state and beyond. Conclusion: Ultimately, this study contributes to the on-going discourse on policy and the development of career guidance in schools as a realm of career development that fosters a more inclusive approach to student guidance and successful future professional. However, further research may be necessary, particularly in other geographical areas.

“…More than 70% of the students preferred to prepare for graduate school to improve their qualifications, and some of them were not suitable for or not interested in further professional research. However, they were influenced by the students around them who were "preparing for the exams" and unthinkingly followed the trend [13][14].…”

In order to better solve the problems of college student’s unwillingness to be employed as well as the difficulty of employment, this paper firstly determines the evaluation indexes of employment guidance and motivation through interviewing college students and experts, constructs the judgment matrix of the evaluation indexes, and carries out consistency test and weight calculation of the judgment matrix by using the fuzzy hierarchical analysis algorithm. Based on the distribution of questionnaires to obtain research data, data analysis software is used to analyze the employment of college students, for example. The data show that the comprehensive evaluation scores of college students’ willingness to accept employment guidance and employment motivation are 3.024433 and 3.468838, respectively, which are between average (3.00) and sound (4.00), indicating that the experts in employment guidance maintain an optimistic attitude towards the evaluation of college students’ willingness to accept employment guidance and employment motivation in this college. The score of female students’ willingness to accept employment guidance (3.68113) is lower than male students’ willingness to accept employment guidance (3.80013), and there is no significant correlation P>0.05. This paper’s research has a significant impact on college students’ employment and sheds light on the employment issue in society.

The current employment situation of graduates is serious and complicated, and employment work is very difficult. Furthermore, the employment quality of college graduates is an important reflection of the quality of education teaching and talent cultivation in higher education. Using big data to provide all-round and multi-perspective feedback on employment quality can find the direction of efforts to improve employment quality further, provide an important reference basis for schools to adjust the layout of majors, make development plans, reform education teaching, optimize career guidance courses and optimize enrollment policies and measures, and effectively promote universities to fulfill better their historical mission of serving the society. This paper extracts features for a series of school behavior data of students and carries out feature selection through appropriate methods. Specifically, the construction problem of the traditional random forest model is analyzed, and a new model is proposed by combining it with a decision tree algorithm; then, the model is constructed and adjusted by grid parameters to ensure the accuracy of the model, and finally, the model is compared and analyzed. The research shows that the accuracy of the RF prediction model using standard features is 0.702, and the LSTM prediction model using only temporal features is only 0.683. In contrast, the prediction accuracy of the model in this paper reaches 0.805. Therefore, the prediction accuracy of the model based on the decision tree algorithm is much higher than the other two, which is effective for optimizing the teaching of career development and employment guidance courses in colleges and universities, thus can improve the education and management-related to career planning and career guidance in schools.
