Currently, there are issues with the collaboration between vocational colleges and enterprises, including outdated collaboration mechanisms, insufficient faculty, and a lack of practical training resources. Three typical models have emerged in practice: the order-based talent co-education model, which customizes training plans through school-enterprise agreements to achieve precise employment; the co-construction model of industrial colleges, which integrates school-enterprise resources and deepens technology research and development and talent cultivation through “dual-subject” management; and the co-construction model of virtual simulation training bases, which relies on digital technology to solve high-cost, high-risk training problems. These models provide feasible paths for vocational education to meet industry demands and promote the deep integration of industry and education.
