Exploring the Connection Between Psychological Resilience and Employability in Vocational Students
January 13, 2026 - 11:23
The global youth is encountering significant challenges, including intense job-seeking pressure and structural employment issues. Employability has emerged as a crucial factor for young individuals, particularly among higher vocational college students. Recent research highlights the importance of psychological resilience in enhancing employability, suggesting that students who possess higher levels of resilience are better equipped to navigate the complexities of the job market.
The study emphasizes the role of perceived social support and career decision-making self-efficacy as mediators in this relationship. Students who feel supported by their peers and mentors are more likely to develop confidence in their career choices, which in turn boosts their employability. This chain of influence underscores the necessity for educational institutions to foster environments that enhance both psychological resilience and social support systems.
As vocational colleges strive to prepare students for the workforce, integrating programs that build resilience and decision-making skills could significantly improve employment outcomes for graduates.
