This study aims to analyze the impact of the higher education career development system on the employment rate of higher education graduates. The methods of analysis include the latent class growth analysis (LCGA), the Logit model and the multinomial Logit model. The data used for the analysis include the employment rates collected from the website of Academyinfo and the ‘2019 Career Employment Status Survey’ conducted by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training. The LCGA results in the employment rates of universities and colleges graduates showed two and three development trajectories, respectively. The location and type of university establishment significantly affected the development trajectories of the employment rates of university graduates. Also, significant determinants for development trajectories of the employment rates of universities graduates turned out to be ‘job guidance and support’ for full-time faculties, online system use of ‘career guidance counseling details,’ and networks such as alumni associations. In the case of colleges, the key determinants for development trajectories of the employment rates included the college location, ‘job guidance and support,’ and the development of 'career guidance courses' for full-time faculties.
