Research on the Pathways for Integrating Industry and Education in the Training Model for Applied Management Professionals

Abstract

The core challenge in developing a talent cultivation model for applied management professionals within the context of industryeducation integration lies in resolving the structural contradiction between "the practical dependence of managerial competencies" and "the
contextual detachment inherent in academic education." Using a pilot modern apprenticeship program implemented through collaboration
between an enterprise digital management program at an applied undergraduate institution and a leading chain retail company as a case study,
this paper proposes and demonstrates two key propositions: First, the effectiveness of a management-oriented modern apprenticeship system
depends not on the specific form of corporate participation, but rather on whether corporate job competency standards can be transformed
into evaluative criteria integrable into curriculai.e., achieving "standard alignment." Second, the essence of work-study alternation lies not
in temporal allocation ratios; building upon this, the paper outlines a detailed design for the micro-level operational mechanisms of schoolenterprise cooperation across five dimensionson-the-job observation mechanisms, mentor collaboration, task-driven learning, outcome presentation, and multi-dimensional evaluationwhile identifying current practical challenges and optimization directions.
