A combinatorial approach to evaluating employment competitiveness in university student: Integrating AHP and FKCM clustering algorithms

This study explores the employment competitiveness of computer science majors by integrating combinatorial mathematics into the evaluation process. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the improved FKCM clustering algorithm, we construct a hierarchical model to assess the impact of entrepreneurial education, learning motivation, and investment on job competitiveness. Data from 314 participants were analyzed using combinatorial techniques to derive optimal weightings for each factor, ensuring the evaluation model’s robustness. The results highlight significant gender differences in practical and feedback-based entrepreneurship education, with males outperforming females. However, no notable differences were observed in job interest, learning motivation, or overall employment competitiveness.
