ABSTRACT: Agricultural colleges and universities bear the honorable mission of providing talent support for rural revitalization. Career guidance courses for college students are essential for cultivating their employment skills, attitudes toward employment, and career choices; they also serve as an effective channel for encouraging students to seek employment in rural areas. Establishing a system for integrating ideological and political education into career guidance courses for college students at agricultural universities is a necessary measure to guide students in cultivating lofty ideals of serving rural revitalization and pursuing careers rooted in agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. The Beidahuang Spirit, which has been incorporated into the spectrum of spirits of the Communist Party of China, is a great spirit fostered by the broad masses of the people during the development and construction of the Beidahuang region; it is also the most representative spirit in the field of agricultural development. We will incorporate the “Beidahuang Spirit” as a key element of ideological and political education in curriculum development, ensuring it permeates the entire process and all aspects of curriculum-based ideological and political education. Vertically, we will explore how to establish a comprehensive curriculum-based ideological and political education system by addressing curriculum development goals, approaches, and steps; horizontally, we will explore innovative models for curriculum-based ideological and political education through the coordinated interaction and integration of formal classroom instruction and extracurricular activities, We will shape, temper, inspire, and nurture young people through the “Beidahuang Spirit”, promote the development of a curriculum-based ideological and political education system that is inclusive of all students, covers the entire learning process, and is comprehensive in scope, continuously elevate the quality and value of our courses, and enhance the quality of talent development.
