Abstract
This study explores the impact of innovation in entrepreneurship education on the employment competitiveness of students in Jiangxi vocational colleges. Using data from questionnaires distributed to 144 educators and 134 employment managers across 63 colleges, we examine eight dimensions of innovation in entrepreneurship education and their correlation with students' employability. Findings reveal that Jiangxi colleges excel in learning ability, innovative practice, and thinking education, underscoring the importance of practical training. Notably, factors such as enrollment size, academic program, and geographic location were found to have no significant effect on employment competitiveness. Positive correlations between objective management, interpersonal skills, learning ability, and innovative thinking with employment competitiveness were identified. To enhance the quality of entrepreneurship education, we recommend curriculum strengthening, increased practical opportunities, investment in teacher training, and refinement of evaluation systems. Limitations regarding sample size and geographic scope suggest avenues for future research.
