This paper analyzes three layers of practical contradictions and deep integration barriers, establishes a four-dimensional collaborative framework encompassing technological integration, talent adaptation, functional coupling, and spatial agglomeration, proposes a systematic implementation pathway, and promotes deep alignment between the education chain, talent chain, industrial chain, and innovation chain.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Zhang R, 2025, Research on the Pathways of Higher Vocational Colleges Aligning with Regional Industrial Clusters—Taking Taizhou as an Example.
