Research on Talent Cultivation in Local Applied Universities from the Perspective of Industry-Education Integration

With the rapid development of the socio-economic landscape and continuous technological innovation, the role of local applied universities in cultivating high-quality, technically skilled talents has become increasingly significant. This paper focuses on the integration of industry and education. It analyzes the opportunities and challenges faced by local universities in advancing this integration. On one hand, the demand for high-quality talents from industries provides universities with more collaboration opportunities. It also promotes the deep integration of education and industry. On the other hand, local universities still face challenges in resources, and school-enterprise collaboration. These challenges restrict the further development of industry-education integration. Therefore, improving cooperation with enterprises and research institutions while ensuring education quality has become an urgent issue for local universities. This paper explores how local applied universities can better align with local industry needs and academic strengths. It also examines how universities can closely collaborate with enterprises during talent development, innovate talent cultivation models, and improve students' overall quality and practical abilities.
