Abstract

Employment is vital to public well-being and social stability. As digital natives, higher vocational students bring new challenges to traditional employment education. Based on interaction ritual chains theory, this study constructs a practice-oriented employment education framework with four core dimensions: situational context, emotional engagement, belief consolidation, and behavioral reinforcement. By creating ritualized employment scenarios, stimulating professional emotions, consolidating value beliefs, and strengthening proactive behaviors, a closed-loop interactive education chain is formed. This approach promotes the transformation of students from passive job seekers to active career builders and enhances the career initiative of students. It provides a valuable reference for improving the effectiveness of employment education in higher vocational colleges.
