Most of the traditional university employment forecasting systems adopt a single traditional feature modeling, which leads to poor employment forecasting effect and weak employment accurate service. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel student employment forecasting model based on random forest and multi-features fusion. Firstly, the student data is preprocessed to remove irrelevant attributes to achieve data consistency. Secondly, in order to improve the accuracy of the prediction model, a feature selection model combining principal component analysis and random forest algorithm is used to select the optimal subset from the original features. Finally, considering the prediction accuracy and prediction time, a combined prediction model GRU-LSTM based on gated recurrent unit (GRU) and long short-term memory network (LSTM) is proposed. The employment data is forecast efficiently and accurately. The experimental results show that compared with the advanced methods, the accuracy of employment prediction is increased by 4.2%, which provides reliable data support for improving the employment of college students.
