These new generations of talents must embody an international vision, a deep sense of national commitment, and exceptional global competitiveness. To achieve this goal, an increasing number of universities advocate carrying out teaching reform and innovation based on the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept. The OBE concept is consistent with the extensive, useful experiences and practices derived from outstanding talent cultivation in higher education. To implement the OBE concept and systematically reconstruct the training of outstanding talents in economics and trade, a series of systematic reforms and explorations is required. These include defining talent cultivation goals based on internal and external needs, optimizing program structures by leveraging disciplinary advantages, strengthening program characteristics through interdisciplinary integration, continuously refining the curriculum system, empowering teaching method innovation with technology, and reinforcing the guarantee of teaching resources.
