In the age of artificial intelligence, technologies such as AI are reshaping the forms of labor, placing higher demands on workers' innovation, collaboration, and adaptability. However, current university students often exhibit shortcomings in labor literacy, including insufficient practical experience and weak innovative capabilities. Based on a tripartite integrated logical framework of "cultural immersion, digital practice, and character refinement," this paper explores pathways for cultivating university students' labor literacy. The study indicates that cultural immersion should integrate ideological and political education with social practice to strengthen the guidance of labor values. Digital practice relies on virtual training, online internships, and other digital means to enhance practical and innovative abilities. Character refinement fosters a sense of responsibility and resilience through teamwork and social service. These three components work in synergy to form a comprehensive cultivation system, which can address the deficiencies of traditional education. The conclusion demonstrates that this tripartite model can holistically improve university students' labor literacy, better preparing them to meet the labor market demands of the AI era and providing practical references for the reform of labor education in higher institutions.
