Research of career planning for the secondary vocational students is on the first step. Therefore, career planning has been an important topic in the secondary vocational schools.This paper uses different ways, such as observation, summarized method, literature and statistical analysis to describe the concepts of career, career development, career planning and career education.

It is necessary to make great efforts to guide students to make career planning, help them to find a clear study objective and know more about employer.Secondary Vocational schools need to help students to solve the problem of career planning.
