Research on the Matching of Specialty Setting and Industry Demand in Higher Vocational Education
Abstract
This study aims to explore the degree of alignment between vocational education program offerings and current industry demands, in order to promote the effective use of educational resources and the close integration of industrial development. By summarizing the current status of vocational education program offerings and outlining the specific talent needs in various industry sectors, this paper constructs an evaluation framework to assess the degree of match between program offerings and industry demands. Based on comparative analysis, it reveals the problems and causes within the current vocational education program offerings. Through empirical research, this study uncovers the specific manifestations of inadequate alignment between vocational education and industry demands, as well as the consequent waste of educational resources and insufficient talent supply. Building on this, the research puts forward strategies and recommendations for optimizing vocational education program offerings to enhance educational quality and the relevance of talent cultivation.
