Research on the Path of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Optimization of Industry-Education Integration in Vocational Colleges

Abstract

Grounded in the core mission of vocational undergraduate education to achieve "deep industry-education integration and collaborative talent development, " this study systematically examines the theoretical foundations and practical pathways for synergistic innovation and
entrepreneurship education. Through surveys of 30 vocational undergraduate institutions nationwide, the research identifies current challenges
including superficial school-enterprise partnerships, curriculum misalignment with industry demands, and underutilized practical platforms.
Integrating constructivist learning theory and collaborative innovation theory, the study proposes an optimization framework through four dimensions: institutional innovation, curriculum restructuring, platform enhancement, and ecosystem cultivation. Key recommendations include
establishing dual-subject collaboration mechanisms, developing industry-aligned innovation courses, creating hybrid virtual-physical practice
platforms, and fostering an integrated industry-education innovation ecosystem. The findings demonstrate that deepening industry-education
integration enables vocational institutions to transition from superficial integration to substantive empowerment in innovation education, effectively enhancing students entrepreneurial competencies and professional competitiveness.
