In recent years, more than 10 million college graduates are graduated every year. AḀected by the impact of COVID-19 and the development of artificial intelligence, young people, mainly college graduates, face increasing difficulties in finding jobs. Therefore, it is necessary for college students to make career planning and prepare for employment during their college years. Career planning is a process in which an individual establishes a career, makes a corresponding plan, and takes necessary measures to achieve the goal based on the analysis of subjective factors and objective environment. For college students, good career planning ability is the foundation to lay a successful career. However, at present, the career planning of college students still mainly stays in the theoretical level of learning, and the practice is relatively lacking, thus forming a situation of “knowledge” and “action” is not uniᴀed. In order to solve this problem, aiming at the dynamic characteristics of career development, this paper aims to use design thinking to integrate students’ knowledge and action. Based on the concrete implementation of the ᴀve stages of design thinking, namely empathy, definition, brainstorming, prototyping and testing, college students’ career planning is constantly practiced and iterated, and their self-problem solving ability is ᴀnally cultivated, which can be used for a lifetime.
