Analysis on the Influencing Factors of College Students' Employment Ability With the popularization of higher education, the employment of college students has become the focus of attention of the education sector, universities and all sectors of society. On the one hand, the national strategy of changing the mode of economic development and the general situation of structural reform on the supply side have changed the external environment of college students' employment environment. At the same time, it has also put forward new requirements and challenges for college students' employment ability. The Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) of the U.S. Department of Labor divides "employability" into three categories: basic skills, thinking skills and individual characteristics, totaling 36 abilities. [1] Based on research, they published their first report, What Work Requirements of Schools, which sets out five indicators of basic workplace literacy. The employment ability of college students is a collection of multiple abilities. Combining with this research, we can analyze the influencing factors of College Students' professional competence from the external factors of the demand for college students' professional competence in the current employment market and the internal factors of college students as individuals in job hunting. From the external market demand, the weak professional ability of college students is an important factor affecting their employment. It is the key to measure whether college students are qualified for a certain post. Specifically, it includes professional cognition, professional knowledge, professional skills, and professional innovation and so on. Professional competence determines the competitiveness of the workplace. The low competitiveness of graduates in the employment market is also a prominent problem at present. The demand, cultivation and acquisition of professional competence are related to society, college and individuals. Professional competence needs are based on economic transformation, market environment and industry development. The scientificity, rationality of professions' design, professional teachers and education and teaching level of specialty settings in Colleges and universities play a key role in the cultivation of professional competence. The acquisition of specific competence of college students is also affected by individual differences.
