Summary of the results of the thesis: The study focuses on understanding the orientation of job seeking and the paths to employment of students after graduation. The results show that students choose their major mainly because they perceive that the input is suitable for their learning ability. Therefore, the time when most students start looking for jobs related to their major is after entering school. The level of understanding of the major of students has also increased when comparing between the time before and after entering school. Family is the main object to help students with career orientation with a level of trust highly appreciated by students. Regarding job orientation, most students want to work in Hanoi. The economic sectors they choose the most are the state economic sector and the economic sector with foreign investment capital. Students want to work in an environment with high income and stable employment. Students access information about jobs mainly through the internet, friends, books, newspapers and magazines... Besides, they access jobs through different ways. On their own, they mainly study other certificates such as foreign languages, information technology... or work part-time to gain experience. Family will be the place to provide finance and relationships. Friends help each other share experiences as well as provide information about jobs. Mass media channels provide recruitment information and information about jobs. For training units, schools have also had many activities to help students access jobs, mainly through teachers sharing experiences, organizing job fairs, etc. Students believe that the role of schools in this issue is very important and also acknowledge that these activities are relatively useful. However, their level of participation in these activities is not much. Among the ways to help students access jobs, the efforts of themselves and their families are highly valued. Mass media helps students access a lot of information about jobs, but it is not the way they approach it that they highly appreciate. The orientation of finding a job as well as the paths that students choose to approach the job are influenced by many factors such as the family's living area, family composition, level of interest in the field of study... 11. Ability to apply in practice: The research helps training units, students themselves as well as related subjects have a comprehensive view of the current employment problem of students after graduation. From there, there will be appropriate methods to help students have better career orientation, have appropriate career approaches, reduce the unemployment rate of students after graduation. 12.
