Abstract

Students in higher vocational colleges (HVC) often lack sufficient self-efficacy and clear career orientation in career planning and job hunting, and career guidance courses, as an important part of vocational education, play a key role in enhancing students' professional competitiveness. Based on this, this article mainly discusses the influence of career guidance courses on vocational self-efficacy of higher vocational college students. In order to study this problem in depth, this article adopts the method of questionnaire survey and interview, selects 500 students from three HVC in a region as research samples, and collects their professional self-efficacy data before and after the employment guidance course. The data are processed and analyzed by SPSS and other statistical software. The results show that the career guidance course has a positive impact on students' professional self-efficacy, with an average score of 0.6 points, and this improvement is highly significant statistically. Based on the research results, this article draws the conclusion that the career guidance course can significantly improve the professional self-efficacy of students in HVC.
