ABSTRACT

Enterprises and student organizations are important ways for college students to enhance their professional skills and improve their self-competence. With the number of fresh graduates from colleges and universities increasing year by year, the job market is facing the pressure of imbalance between supply and demand of talents, and it has become crucial to enhance the employability and competitiveness of college graduates. Based on the questionnaire data of 210 fresh graduates from colleges and universities in Beijing, exploring the impact of organizational work experience on the employability of recent college graduates in terms of the number and length of internships, the number and length of participation in student organizations, the results indicate that organizational work experience can significantly contribute to the employability of college students. Based on the results of the study, this paper proposes suggestions from the dimensions of universities and students in order to encourage college students to actively engage in organizational work and thus improve their employability.
