This paper aims to expound the epochal significance of integrating labor education into ideological and political education in colleges and universities and to analyze the practical dilemma of integrating labor education into ideological and political education in colleges and universities through policy analysis and literature research, so as to explore an effective path for its integration. The integration of labor education in the new era into ideological and political education in colleges and universities is the inherent need to cultivate the socialist modernization builders with Chinese characteristics, the primary issue of implementing education and the important content of cultivating new successors in the era, and the inevitable requirement to enrich and innovate the content and methods of ideological and political education. The integration faces the dilemma of college students’ one-sided cognition of labor, formalization of labor education in colleges and universities, backwardness and solidification of teaching models. To promote the integration, we should first combine offline and online education to strengthen the main channel and position of college students’ labor values education; second, we should build practice platforms and bases for labor education, and implement the effect of labor education from practice; third, we should excavate and integrate the ideological and political education resources, and carry forward the labor spirit in the ideological and political education.
