Abstract

Against the backdrop of the classified development of higher education and structural changes in the employment market, the deviation in employment concepts among students of applied technology universities has become a key factor restricting high-quality and full employment. Taking Lanzhou Institute of Technology as an example, this paper, based on the orientation of engineering application-oriented talent cultivation, analyzes the current practical dilemmas faced by students, such as vague career positioning, prominent mentality of seeking stability, low recognition at the grassroots level, and insufficient initiative in job hunting. It constructs a four-in-one employment concept intervention system of "course teaching - practical activities - precise counseling - organizational guarantee", and systematically expounds the practical measures taken by the school in terms of employment guidance curriculum reform, visiting enterprises and exploring job opportunities, one-to-one assistance, and the integration of innovation and entrepreneurship education. The research shows that systematic employment concept intervention can effectively change students' cognition of career selection and enhance employment adaptability, providing a replicable practical paradigm for similar applied technology universities to carry out employment education and optimize employment concept guidance.
