As the main battlefield for cultivating technical and skilled talents, vocational colleges are facing new requirements for their educational models. Career planning courses are a crucial link between academic achievement and employment, playing an irreplaceable role in guiding students to establish career ideals and plan their development paths. At present, some vocational colleges tend to prioritize skills over literacy in the implementation of courses, and focus on employment rate over value orientation, resulting in a situation where vocational guidance and ideological and political education are presented as "two skins". This article attempts to integrate the ideological and political concepts of the curriculum into the career planning teaching system. This integrated education model not only focuses on the development of students' professional skills, but also has the characteristic of emphasizing the cultivation of professional ethics. It has practical significance for cultivating vocational talents in the new era who combine morality and technology.
