The construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port has raised higher requirements for the local adaptability and sustainable development capabilities of higher vocational talents. However, current career planning courses in higher vocational colleges suffer from issues including disconnect between course content and local industry needs, weak practical sessions, and insufficient cultural immersion, making it difficult to support students in employment and entrepreneurship within the Free Trade Port. Based on the industrial characteristics of the Hainan Free Trade Port and the positioning of higher vocational education, this paper proposes a three-dimensional reconstruction framework of "industry connection—practical empowerment—cultural immersion". By optimizing course content, innovating teaching models, and strengthening guarantee mechanisms, it constructs a career planning curriculum system tailored to local demands, thereby providing theoretical references and practical pathways for enhancing talent cultivation quality in Hainan's higher vocational colleges and supporting industrial development of the Free Trade Port.
