ABSTRACT

Under the impact of the digital economy wave, the digital transformation of vocational education has become an inevitable trend of the times. However, the current problems such as technological fragmentation, low collaboration efficiency, and rigid data barriers have seriously hindered its development process. This study organically integrates ecological theory with the concept of digital governance, and constructs an innovative three-level progressive model of "Basic Support - Core Collaboration - Goal Achievement". Adopting a pyramid - shaped structure, this model effectively integrates multiple subjects and digital technology resources, and realizes the collaborative governance of the tripartite subjects (government, schools, and enterprises) with the help of four operating mechanisms. Focusing on solving the problem of "data silos", this model is committed to promoting in - depth sharing of industry - education data and facilitating the practical application of virtual training scenarios, thus providing a set of solutions with both theoretical depth and practical guiding significance for the digital transformation of vocational education.
