With the rapid development of 5G and Artificial Intelligence, talent cultivation for the Drone Application Technology major faces new opportunities and challenges. The "Python Programming" course offered by the Drone Application Technology major at Zhejiang Business Technology Institute (School of Artificial Intelligence) is not only foundational for students' computational thinking but also a critical bridge connecting intelligent drone applications with 5G communication, operations, and maintenance (O&M). This paper uses the Zhejiang Provincial Vocational College Skills Competition "5G Networking and O&M" as a focal point to explore how to integrate the competition's core skill requirements into the "Python Programming" curriculum. The goal is to achieve competition-driven teaching and learning, cultivating composite, high-skill technical talents who meet the evolving needs of the industry.
