Abstract：

Against the backdrop of Yunnan Province's strategic positioning as China's gateway to South Asia and Southeast Asia, this study investigates the critical role of school social work in fostering career integration between Yunnan's college students and the dynamic regional markets. Using a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the research explores how school social work interventions address the gaps in cross-cultural career preparedness. The findings highlight the effectiveness of integrated casework, group work, and community resource mobilization in enhancing students' regional career knowledge, intercultural competence, and practical employ-ability. The study concludes by proposing a three- dimensional intervention model, offering theoretical insights and practical strategies for cultivating international talent in border regions.
