Abstract

This paper explores the innovation and practice of talent cultivation models in higher education under the perspective of industry-education integration. As the global economy evolves, the gap between educational outcomes and industry requirements continues to widen. This study investigates the potential of integrated industry-education frameworks to bridge this gap by fostering a more relevant and applied learning environment. Through a mixed-method approach involving case studies and empirical analysis, the research identifies key components of successful integration models that align educational programs with real-world applications. The findings reveal that partnerships between educational institutions and industries not only enhance curriculum relevance but also improve student employability and satisfaction. The study highlights several innovative practices, such as co-developed curricula, industry placements, and joint research initiatives, which have proven effective in various higher education settings. These practices not only equip students with essential skills but also instill a deeper understanding of their professional fields. Moreover, the research addresses challenges such as logistical coordination, cultural differences between academia and industry, and the scalability of successful models. The paper concludes with recommendations for educational leaders to foster more robust industry-education linkages. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application, the proposed models aim to cultivate a workforce well-prepared for the demands of the modern economy.
