Abstract
The digital age has given rise to a career-oriented form of digital labor, fostering the advancement of labor education in vocational colleges toward digitalization. This shift holds significant historical, social, educational, and developmental value. In this context, labor education in vocational colleges is evolving to embrace digitalization, which is crucial for contemporary society, education, and overall development. This article examines the pathways for the digital development of labor education through the lens of Marxist labor theory, fundamental concepts of labor education, the educational attributes of digital technology, and the categorization of vocational education types. Vocational colleges can effectively facilitate the digital transformation of labor education by establishing a cross-disciplinary integrated digital curriculum system, creating digital teaching resources that blend virtual and real-world experiences, enhancing the digital literacy of educators who possess both technical and pedagogical skills, and developing a digital evaluation model that focuses on value-added processes. Research findings indicate that students participating in the experiment achieved a career success score of at least 7.8. Labor education not only improves students' vocational skills and literacy but also enhances their innovative capabilities and awareness of career development, thereby providing robust support for the cultivation of high-quality professional talent.
