Abstract

The accelerated development of modern industrial clusters in Hainan Free Trade Port has led to a sustained surge in demand for high-level technical professionals and interdisciplinary applied talents. Vocational undergraduate education, serving as a pivotal bridge between higher education and vocational training, plays a critical role in aligning talent supply with industrial needs and driving industrial upgrading. Current challenges in Hainan’s vocational education include mismatched program offerings with industrial demands, superficial industry-academia collaboration, inadequate practical training systems, and insufficient dual-qualified faculty resources. This study examines the intrinsic relationship between industrial cluster development and vocational education through the lens of industry-education integration. It identifies existing talent cultivation bottlenecks and proposes an innovative “government-industry-academia-enterprise-industry” collaborative model, along with a six-dimensional approach encompassing job placement, curriculum design, competition mechanisms, certification systems, innovation initiatives, and research development. The study provides actionable strategies to enhance vocational education quality and support the high-quality growth of Hainan’s industrial clusters, offering both theoretical insights and practical solutions for regional development.
