Vocational education, as the main base for cultivating technical and skilled talents, how to achieve the reform goal of “promoting learning and teaching through competition” through skills competitions has become the focus of current research. Based on the practical case of the cloud computing skills competition, this paper analyzes the mechanism of its role in promoting teaching reform, proposes the implementation path of promoting learning through competition, and explores the innovative model of cloud computing talent cultivation in vocational education through dimensions such as school-enterprise cooperation, curriculum reconstruction, and faculty construction, providing a reference for the high-quality development of vocational education.
