Abstract

Along with the development of the social economy and the advancement of the urbanization process, the employment of graduates of environmental art and design majors as a comprehensive discipline is increasingly concerned about the employment of graduates. The problem of employment of graduates has been increasingly concerned. This paper studies the employment status of graduates of environmental art design majors in undergraduate colleges and universities through investigation and analysis, and puts forward corresponding countermeasures for the existing problems. It is found that the graduates of environmental art design majors face certain difficulties in the employment market, which are mainly manifested as insufficient employment positions, narrow employment field, and insufficient competitiveness. In view of these problems, this paper puts forward countermeasure suggestions from three aspects: education reform, industrial structure adjustment and students' personal development. In terms of education reform, the curriculum should be optimized, practical teaching should be strengthened, and industry-university-research cooperation and exchanges should be enhanced; in terms of industrial restructuring, industrial structure upgrading should be promoted to broaden the employment field; in terms of students' personal development, their own abilities should be improved and reasonable career planning should be formulated. Through the implementation of these countermeasures, it is expected to improve the employment status of environmental art design graduates and promote their smooth employment and career development.
