Under the modernization of higher education governance, student cadres, as the core carriers of “Three-Self Education“ (self-management, self-education, and self-service), play a pivotal role in achieving moral education and talent cultivation. This study employs a grounded theory research method to systematically deconstruct the practical challenges faced by “Post-00s“ student cadres in dimensions such as subjective agency awakening, political literacy cultivation, organizational norm construction, and professional competency development. From the dual identity of counselors as “practitioners-researchers,“ the study innovatively proposes a “1+4+3“ cultivation model. Practice demonstrates that this model, through its closed-loop mechanism of value guidance, four-dimensional empowerment, and outcome evaluation, significantly enhances the service efficacy, organizational efficiency, and developmental effectiveness of student cadres. It provides a replicable, practical paradigm for cultivating student cadres in the new era. The standardized meeting procedures and document management systems developed in this research offer referential frameworks for ideological and political education in higher education.
