Challenges and Countermeasures of Industry-Education Integration in Local Application-Oriented Universities under the New Quality Productive Forces

Abstract

As an important pillar of the higher education system, local application-oriented universities play a crucial role in fostering the new quality productive forces and promoting high-quality regional economic development through the integration of industry and education. Currently, these universities face several challenges in their industry-education integration practices, such as fragmented industry-education collaboration mechanisms, misalignment between academic program offerings and evolving industrial demands, and urgent need for enhanced multi-stakeholder resource integration efficiency, etc. These issues severely restrict their ability to contribute to national modernization efforts. This paper, based on the demands for the development of the new quality productive forces, proposes a "Five-in-one" systematic reform framework: through the innovation of a long-term governance system for industry-education integration, the establishment of an agile response mechanism between the education chain and the industrial chain, the construction of a digital resource sharing platform, A model for collaborative faculty co-development in industry-education integration, and the reconstruction of an integrated quality evaluation system, it explores innovative pathways for the deep integration of higher education and regional economies, providing theoretical frameworks and practical paradigms for the deepening of industry-education integration in application-oriented universities in the new era.
