ABSTRACT

Vocational education plays a vital role in supporting China's Rural Revitalization Strategy by cultivating skilled professionals for rural industries and communities. However, current training systems often suffer from fragmented curricula and weak connections with industrial and local needs. This study proposes an Integrated Talent Training Model that combines theoretical education, practical training, industrial collaboration, and community participation within a unified framework.Based on System Theory, Industry–Education Integration Theory, Constructivist Learning Theory, and Rural Sociology Theory, the model emphasizes multi-dimensional integration—linking education with industry, theory with practice, and schools with local communities.Case studies from rural-oriented vocational colleges show that the model enhances students' professional competence, strengthens school–industry partnerships, and promotes talent retention in rural areas. The findings indicate that the integrated model not only bridges the gap between vocational education and rural development but also provides a replicable mechanism for aligning education reform with local revitalization.
