This paper explores effective methods to integrate the concept of craftsmanship spirit into vocational education. By analyzing the principles of craftsmanship—such as dedication, precision, and innovation—this research highlights the importance of fostering these values among vocational students. Drawing on both theoretical frameworks and practical examples, the paper proposes several strategies for embedding craftsmanship values into the curriculum, including the enhancement of practical training, mentoring programs, and industry partnerships. The integration of craftsmanship spirit is crucial for the professional growth of students and the development of high-quality, skilled labor forces in today’s economy.
