Abstract The contemporary employment landscape for vocational college graduates presents significant challenges, marked by increasing trends of "lazy employment" and "slow employment." This study aimed to comprehensively analyze students' perspectives on employment and career planning to inform and strengthen career guidance initiatives, ultimately enhancing graduate employability. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the investigation utilized thematic analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with both students and teachers. Key findings revealed that a substantial portion of students lacked clear career plans, exhibited limited awareness of the job market, engaged in passive job-seeking behaviors, harbored unrealistic job expectations, and perceived deficiencies in their employability skills. Concurrently, teachers underscored the critical need for early intervention and more practical, hands-on training within career education. The study highlights the imperative of reinforcing career education, optimizing internship programs, and fostering robust industry collaboration. These findings offer valuable contributions to the refinement of career guidance strategies in vocational colleges, fostering a proactive and informed approach to employment among students.
