The development of New Liberal Arts drives higher education to shift from a discipline-oriented model to a demand-driven one, and from fragmented specialization to interdisciplinary integration. This transformation offers a critical opportunity for the talent cultivation reform of the Labor and Social Security program. As a core university serving the development of ethnic minority regions, South-Central Minzu University must comply with the core requirements of New Liberal Arts—interdisciplinarity, digitalization and practicality—to address the multiple predicaments in the traditional talent training mode of the Labor and Social Security program. Based on the philosophy of New Liberal Arts development, combined with the actual development of the Labor and Social Security program at South-Central Minzu University, and guided by employment needs, this paper explores a talent cultivation system featuring ethnic adaptability, digital empowerment and collaborative education from four dimensions: curriculum system reconstruction, practical teaching innovation, faculty team development, and evaluation & guarantee mechanism improvement.
