This paper takes the modern apprenticeship system as the research object to cultivate the craftsman spirit, and systematically analyzes its realistic dilemma, international experience and breakout path. The research points out that there are core problems such as insufficient awareness of cultivation, lack of spiritual elements in curriculum teaching, insufficient integration of industry and education, and impact of social values. By referring to the beneficial experience of the German dual system, the registered apprenticeship system in the United States and the new apprenticeship system in Australia, it is proposed to build a four-dimensional collaborative path guided by the government, dominated by enterprises, led by colleges and universities, and active by students: The government should strengthen the system supply and policy incentive, enterprises should deepen the responsibility and resource input of education, colleges and universities should promote the curriculum reform and cultural infiltration, students should activate the endogenous motivation and professional identity, jointly promote the craftsman spirit to effectively take root in the modern apprenticeship system, and provide systematic solutions for the cultivation of high-quality technical and skilled talents.
