Exploring the Construction Path of Specialized Programs in Private Vocational Colleges Under Regional Industrial Demand Orientation: A Case Study of Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology
Abstract
In the context of China’s vigorous promotion of vocational education and high-quality regional economic development, private vocational undergraduate institutions serve as crucial bridges connecting vocational training with regional industries. These institutions must develop distinctive professional clusters centered on local industrial demands. Taking Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology as a case study, this paper analyzes the current practices and challenges in building specialized academic programs within the university’s framework, aligned with the industrial development needs of the Hainan Free Trade Port. Through examining five key dimensions—industry demand research mechanisms, dynamic program adjustments, deep integration of industry-education collaboration, faculty development, and quality evaluation systems—the study explores pathways for constructing distinctive professional clusters in private vocational institutions, providing actionable references for similar educational organizations to support regional industrial advancement.
