Examining of factors influencing Korean female college students’ occupational choice on college life on campus and vocational training and education

The purpose of this study is to examine which factors influence the occupational choices of female college students. Controlling for demographic variables such as female college students’ school type, major and graduation, the logistic regression of female college students (n=216) found that only counseling for female college students on campus affect their occupational choice. On the basis of this finding, the college authority needs to endeavor to provide female college students with career support, such as career counseling, career information, occupation fairs, and any other career-occupation support. In addition, each private and public vocation trainer and educator should clearly understand the female students’ needs and design vocational training and education programs for both female college students and labor demand.
