Abstract

As regional industrial structures undergo continuous restructuring and upgrading, the integration of vocational education with local industries has become increasingly vital for sustainable economic growth. Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology, acting as a key contributor to the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) initiative, has proactively addressed regional industrial demands through dynamic program adjustments and distinctive specialty cluster development. This strategic alignment ensures that talent cultivation remains synchronized with the evolving "3+1" modern industrial system, which is central to the region's economic transformation. This study examines the current status and trends of industrial development in the Hainan Free Trade Port, evaluates the university's initiatives in establishing dynamic program adjustment mechanisms and planning specialized clusters, identifies critical implementation challenges, and proposes targeted optimization strategies. By emphasizing the transition from traditional vocational training to high-level undergraduate vocational education, the findings aim to provide actionable insights for the university and similar institutions in better serving regional industrial development, thereby fostering synergistic progress between vocational education and regional economies within a highly competitive and complex global trade environment.
