In the context of the digital transformation of vocational education, a quality evaluation index system has been constructed. Based on a questionnaire survey conducted among higher vocational colleges and enterprises in Hainan Province, it has been found that the quality of vocational education generally depends on the talent training program and professional construction at the macro level. At the meso level, the teacher level and teaching environment are critical, while at the micro level, the evaluation of talent training quality cannot be underestimated. Strategies for quality improvement in vocational education are proposed from the perspectives of talent training programs, major construction, teacher development, teaching environment, and talent training quality, all under the lens of digital transformation.
