Using mixed methods, the research examines administrative strategies in global perspectives, curriculum development, faculty development, infrastructure and resources, research and innovation, and student support services. The findings revealed that while institutional efforts were generally rated as "Implemented," areas such as faculty development and collaboration were perceived as strengths, whereas research, student support, and innovative teaching methods required further enhancement. Significant differences in perceptions were observed based on demographic factors such as age, educational attainment, sex, and grade level, emphasizing the need for inclusive and equitable strategies. Correlation analysis underscored the interconnectedness between higher vocational education developments and talent cultivation practices, with global perspectives and curriculum development strongly linked to teaching innovation and ethical education.
