This paper analyzes the research needs and behaviors of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) students in Digital Humanities (DH) research, aiming to construct digital skills improvement strategies for local HSS students. By the means of tracking survey, focus group and in-depth interview, the basic status of HSS students and their continuous growth in DH training is analyzed. It is found that HSS students were interested in DH when they participated in DH training, but their awareness of humanistic problems was weak and the foundation of digital skills was insufficient. With the training tasks in six training stages including literature reading, data collection, data cleaning, data processing, data analysis and report writing, HSS students' humanistic literacy and digital skills were improved. Combined with the analysis results, this paper summarizes some DH teaching and education strategies for local HSS students. On one hand, the methods of project practice, close tracking guidance and peer learning help to improve digital skills. On the other hand, neither the cultivation of digital skills nor humanistic awareness should be neglected. In addition, the development and organization of digital humanities teaching resources should be paid attention to.
