A framework of employability skills amongst Ningxia polytechnic graduated students
description <p>The purpose of this research is to assess the employability level of graduated students</p><p>in Ningxia Polytechnic, and form an employability framework to improve the</p><p>employability of students. Five employment ability variables studied are professional</p><p>ability, individual ability, vocational ability, social ability, innovation and</p><p>entrepreneurship. A total of 446 China Ningxia Polytechnic graduated students</p><p>participated in this research. An instrument of the self-evaluation scale of vocational</p><p>college students' employment ability was developed and the validity of the content was</p><p>judged by experts. The instrument consists of 41 items employability, 40 items</p><p>influencing factors and 9 item basic information, which has met the psychological</p><p>measurement standards. The confirmatory factor analysis was performed by AMOS</p><p>SEM to test the convergence validity and discriminant validity of the variables and</p><p>Cronbach's alpha used to measure internal consistency of the scores produced. The selfevaluation</p><p>scale of vocational college students' employment ability shows good</p><p>convergence and discriminative validity. The overall mean of vocational students'</p><p>employability skills was 3.84 (SD = 0.63). The instrumental analysis (CFA) was</p><p>developed through the verification process using verification factors. Finding shows the</p><p>value of the degree index (fit), which is an Absolute Fit, RMSEA 0.0067 (<0.08);</p><p>Incremental Fit, CFI0.918, TLI0.921(>0.9) and Parsimonious Fit, Chisq/df 2.832 (<</p><p>5.0). The results of the study found that all five factors which are student factors,</p><p>curriculum, teacher level, teaching methods, and employment guidance have great</p><p>impact on employability. Finally, the employment skills framework is formed to</p><p>improve employability skills amongst Ningxia Polytechnic graduated students. This</p><p>study has implications for the development of a framework to improve the</p><p>employability of vocational students and also provide a reference for the reform of</p><p>Vocational Education in Ningxia.</p>
