Abstract

This study is to identify the factors that determine if college graduates majored in culinary arts will be employed. To achieve this purpose, this study used the survey data of 350 culinary arts-related graduates who participated in the GOMS conducted by the Korea Employment Information Service for the past three years. The analysis results are summarized as follows: First, personal background factors such as gender, age, health status, and parental educational background of graduates did not affect their employment status regardless of their school system. Second, in the case of 2-3 year college graduates, the grades, major satisfaction, number of job experiences, and status of acquiring licenses had a positive effect on their employment status. However, the status of job experience and experience of job-seeking activities had a negative effect on their employment status. Third, in the case of 4-year university graduates, the grades and status of acquiring licenses had a positive effect on their employment status. On the other hand, the experience of job-seeking activities, training experience, and the number of certificates obtained had a negative effect on their employment status. Therefore, guiding employment for graduates at the university should provide individualized employment approach depending on their school system, college life, and employment preparation activities.
