Abstract
This study investigates the challenges encountered by vocational colleges when preparing for innovative skills competitions and proposes effective countermeasures. It highlights issues concerning students’ motivation, limited financial resources and hardware, teacher capacity limitations, inadequate reward systems, and curriculum misalignment. Through meticulous research and analysis, this paper presents practical recommendations to mitigate these challenges. Suggestions encompass strategies to enhance students’ motivation, increase financial support, provide professional development opportunities for teachers, revamp the reward system, and align the curriculum with competition requirements. By implementing these measures, vocational colleges can cultivate active student participation, elevate teaching quality, bridge the gap between education and industry demands, and equip students for success in innovative skills competitions.
