Summary of Thesis Results: The research focuses on understanding the career orientation and employment pathways of students after graduation. The results show that students mainly choose their major based on the perceived suitability of their academic abilities. Therefore, the time when most students begin searching for jobs related to their major is after entering university. The level of understanding of their major also increased when comparing the time before and after entering university. Family is the main group that helps students with career orientation, and the level of trust is highly valued by students. Regarding career orientation, most students wish to work in Hanoi. The economic sectors most frequently chosen by students are the state-owned sector and the foreign-invested sector. Students aspire to work in high-paying, stable jobs. They primarily access job information through the internet, friends, books, and magazines. In addition, they seek employment through various other channels. Personally, they mainly pursue additional certifications such as foreign languages and computer skills, or work part-time to gain experience. Their families provide financial support and connections. Friends share experiences and provide career information. Mass media channels provide recruitment and career information. Regarding educational institutions, schools have also organized many activities to help students access employment, primarily through faculty sharing experiences and job fairs. Students believe the school's role in this is very important and acknowledge that these activities are relatively useful. However, their level of participation in these activities is still limited. Among the various avenues for students to access employment, personal and family effort is highly valued. While mass media provides students with a lot of job information, it is not the most effective approach they consider. Job orientation and the paths students choose to pursue employment are influenced by many factors such as their family's living area, family background, level of interest in their field of study, etc. 11. Practical application: This research helps training institutions, students themselves, and relevant stakeholders gain a comprehensive understanding of the current employment situation of graduates. From this, appropriate methods can be developed to help students better orient themselves towards employment, find suitable career paths, and reduce the unemployment rate after graduation. 12.
