As a disadvantaged group, the employment of disabled college students has become one of the important problems that need to be solved by the society, and the level of vocational maturity, as an assessment indicator of the readiness of vocational choice, is of great significance to improve the employment level of disabled college students. In this study, the Career Maturity Scale for Chinese College Students was used as an assessment tool, and a detailed questionnaire survey was conducted and analysed on 127 visually impaired college students and 96 ordinary college students. The data were analysed through descriptive statistics and t-tests, and it was found that visually impaired college students had lower career maturity than ordinary college students, especially in the three dimensions of dependence on family and friends, career values and career goals. For this reason, the study proposes three strategies to enhance the career maturity of visually impaired college students, namely, exploring new paths for the cultivation of visually impaired college students, expanding career horizons and breaking cognitive limitations, strengthening home-school cooperation and raising parents' awareness of employment, and carrying out activities to explore career values and increasing practice opportunities.
