Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate and enhance the career planning process for students at Guangxi Police College, focusing on quantitative and qualitative insights. A mixed-methods approach was employed. In Phase 1, a quantitative survey of 248 recent graduates was conducted to assess their satisfaction with the college's career planning strategies. Phase 2 comprised qualitative focus group discussions with nine faculty members gathering in-depth perspectives on the effectiveness of current career planning practices. The findings revealed a generally high level of student satisfaction, with an overall mean score of 3.64 out of 5. However, areas such as self-assessment and goal setting scored slightly lower, indicating opportunities for improvement. Faculty feedback emphasised the need for regular updates, external evaluations, and increased real-world exposure to better prepare students for the job market. The study concludes that while Guangxi Police College has established a strong foundation in career planning, there is still room for further enhancement. Targeting enhancements in self-assessment, goal setting, and practical application could significantly improve student outcomes. These findings correspond with existing research, underscoring the importance of a comprehensive and context-sensitive approach to career planning in specialised educational institutions.
