The purpose of this research is to investigate the employability of Taiwan’s university seniors and to analyze the factors that affect university seniors’ employability, as well as the link between employability and self-evaluation. The questionnaires have been collected at 7 universities across Taiwan’s northern, central, and southern areas. A total of 1,123 valid questionnaires were returned. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including t-test, one-way ANOVA, Chi-square test, Pearson product-moment correlation and Regression analysis. The findings of this research are: 1.The index of seniors’ character and civic literacy abilities is ranked top, while the index of basic and professional skills is ranked low due to the weakness of international perspective and foreign language proficiency. 2.Most seniors recognize the benefit of apprenticeship at university for their employability. They tend to choose jobs relating to their majors at university. In addition, taking account of their employability, most seniors show confidence in future challenges at their workplace. 3.Significant differences have been shown in seniors’ employability with regard to gender and qualifications. 4.Significant differences have been shown in seniors’ self-evaluation with regard to gender, universities, and professional studies. 5.A significant positive correlation was found between seniors’ employability and self-evaluation. 6.With regard to employability, both the skills of social communication and cooperation and the ability of professional practice were shown to have significant influence on seniors’ self-evaluation.
