This study investigates the relationship between career development learning (CDL) and students' perceived employability (SPE) with the mediating role of human capital. Using a quantitative method based on structured questionnaires to collect data from 512 Vietnamese students before starting their internship at businesses and 322 of them after 4 months, the results of the partial least square Structural Equational Model analysis showed that CDL positively affects SPE over time. Besides, the study explored the mediating effect of human capital in the relationship between CDL and SPE. In particular, scholastic capital and cultural capital play mediating roles while social capital failed to be in the relationship between CDL and SPE. This study is expected to enrich current literature on students' employability and human capital theory. From practical aspects, the findings of this work can be of benefit to higher education institutions in supporting their students to enhance their employability in labour market.
本研究探讨了职业发展学习（CDL）与学生感知就业能力（SPE）之间的关系，并以人力资本为中介变量。采用基于结构化问卷的定量方法，在越南512名学生入职企业实习前和4个月后分别收集数据，偏最小二乘结构方程模型分析结果表明，随着时间推移，职业发展学习对学生感知就业能力有积极影响。此外，本研究还探讨了人力资本在职业发展学习与学生感知就业能力关系中的中介作用。具体而言，学业资本和文化资本起到了中介作用，而社会资本在职业发展学习与学生感知就业能力的关系中未起到中介作用。本研究有望丰富当前关于学生就业能力和人力资本理论的文献。从实践层面来看，本研究结果有助于高等教育机构帮助学生提高其在劳动力市场的就业能力。
