This research focuses on constructing the structural IT student employability indicator model and evaluating IT undergraduate employability from the view of enterprises through the combination of theoretical and empirical research, qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. This research hopes to provide valuable insight for the improvement of IT undergraduate employability. Through the literature review of current study, this research first proposes a preliminary employability structure. Then this model is refined through the method of focus group interview. The refined model contains three primary indicators, 11 secondary indicators and 23 third-level indicators. The pre-test survey is conducted for the reliability and validity the test. Then this study conducts empirical study with questionnaire method to evaluate the IT undergraduate employability. This study conducts ANOVA method to study the background variables’ influence and interaction effects. The importanceperformance analysis and priority need index methods are used to study the employability improvement priority. This study constructs the employability model that represent the characteristics of IT profession and the demand of the enterprise, which could be the solid foundation for improvement guidelines. The study also reveals that the performance of employability is generally not satisfying and requires improvement. It can also be concluded that significant opinion difference exists between the recipients with different background variable. Through comparing the results from IPA and the PNI ranking, the improvement priority of employability is identified. This study finds that eight employability indicators urgently need improvements.
