ABSTRACT

This research focuses on the deep integration of the industry-education integration concept and the "Three Practical’s and Three Focuses" (actual practice, practical ability, competency, and focus, resource integration, collaborative effort), promoting the high-quality development of the integration of design talent education and industry through a series of measures. The study emphasizes the importance of improving the policy system, deepening school-enterprise cooperation, innovating talent training models, strengthening the construction of teaching staff, expanding international cooperation and exchanges, and constructing a scientific evaluation system. By crossing boundaries and leveraging digital empowerment, it aims to enhance the effectiveness of design education and industrial practice. The research proposes a "Boundary-Crossing and Digital Empowerment" model for the integration of design talent education and industry, including the construction of an information sharing and collaboration platform, optimization of curriculum systems and teaching content, deepening school-enterprise cooperation and industry-education integration, promoting the digital transformation of teaching staff, and improving evaluation and incentive mechanisms.By implementing these paths, it is expected to cultivate high-quality digital design talents that meet social needs, enhance students' comprehensive qualities and competitiveness, promote the effective connection between education chains, talent chains, industrial chains, and innovation chains, and achieve a win-win development for education and industry. This research not only has significant academic value, deepening the theory of industry-education integration and improving educational models, but also has important application value, enhancing the quality of talent cultivation, promoting industrial upgrading and innovation, and leading the modernization of education.
