With the popularization of higher education, the employment competition faced by college students is becoming increasingly fierce, leading to many college students experiencing employment anxiety disorders. This study combines the principles of educational psychology and ideological and political education methods, aiming to construct and implement an innovative teaching model and explore its practical effects on alleviating employment anxiety disorders among college students.

This study selected 1,000 graduating college students, 500 as the experimental group receiving innovative teaching modes and 500 as the control group. The experiment lasted for three months, and the employment anxiety disorder of two groups of students was evaluated using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). We use SPSS 24.0 to process the data.

The data showed that the employment anxiety index of college students in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P <0.05). In addition, the students in the experimental group showed high confidence and positive attitude in employment strategy planning, self-efficacy, and career orientation.

The innovative teaching model that combines educational psychology and ideological and political education significantly alleviates the employment anxiety disorder of college students and can help them face employment challenges healthier and more actively. It is recommended that more universities introduce such innovative models to provide more comprehensive and in-depth employment guidance for college students.
