In China, college students' employment has become a hot issue of universal social concern. This is because the issue involves tens and thousands of households and holds social stability at stake. In recent years, China confronts a grave situation in which many college graduates fail to find jobs and eventually become a "new jobless group". In fact, with higher education, providing education in students' career development has presented itself as a major task.

Therefore, developing specialized teaching staff has become an urgent task, which, if well fulfilled, will satisfy students' need for career development, contribute to the deepening of higher education reform, and facilitate development of a harmonious society.The present research focuses on developing specialized teaching staff for college students' career development. It stresses the necessity and urgency of the task by presenting a historical perspective and comparisons. It also utilizes the teaching staff specialization theory and theories concerning college students' career development to explain the professional features of the teaching staff for career developmentThis research lays stress on gathering proof and evidence.

It also defines the concepts used, introduces previous foreign and domestic literature on the topic, and presents research methodology, contents of the dissertation, and new ideas being raised.Chapter 2: A historical perspective of the issue. Looking back on the history of the issue, it stresses the importance and urgency of developing specialized teaching staff for college students' career development.Chapter 3: Theoretical probe.
