The quality of innovation and entrepreneurship education is directly related to the effectiveness of talent cultivation in higher education institutions and the employment competitiveness of graduates. Currently, there are still issues such as the disconnection between educational philosophy and practical needs, inadequate resource allocation, relatively weak faculty strength, and an optimization needed for the curriculum system. This paper analyzes the value implications of enhancing the quality and efficiency of innovation and entrepreneurship education from the perspective of college student employment, explores the challenges and difficulties faced by innovation and entrepreneurship education, and proposes improvement paths including deepening industry-education integration, building a diversified collaborative training system, improving support policies, innovating teaching models, and establishing sound evaluation mechanisms. The aim is to promote the high-quality development of innovation and entrepreneurship education in higher education institutions and to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for cultivating high-quality talents with innovative spirit and entrepreneurial capabilities.
