Abstract: In the context of the new era, how to cultivate the college students’ employability and enhance their core competitiveness in employment is a major issue that urgently needs to be addressed in university employment work. This paper analyzes the current situation of ability cultivation and employment for undergraduate students majoring in Materials Chemistry in local universities. Combining practical experience, it explores two aspects: ideological guidance and ability cultivation. It investigates the concepts of industry-education integration (I), engineering education certification (E), science-education integration (S), and the integration of course ideology and morality (M). This study explores the "IESM" talent training system aimed at enhancing the core competitiveness of employment for students majoring in Materials Chemistry in local universities, providing a reference for the talent training system in this field.

Key words: Employment core competitiveness, Integration of industry and education, Ability development, Sense of social responsibility
