Abstract

Under the demand for improving the quality and efficiency of vocational education, heart-to-heart conversations, as a crucial vehicle for psychological counseling and career guidance, face challenges such as limited coverage and insufficient pertinence. The advantages of AI technology in data processing and intelligent analysis offer a pathway to address these challenges. This paper constructs an integration mechanism for psychological support and career planning in heart-to-heart conversations empowered by AI, taking into account the characteristics of vocational college students and the laws of their career development. The paper clarifies the guiding ideology and principles, refines the core content, supporting system, and operational aspects, proposes implementation strategies, and establishes an effectiveness evaluation system to support vocational colleges in enhancing the quality of their educational endeavors.
