Abstract

This paper delves into the strong link between regional economic growth and higher vocational education. Research indicates that higher vocational education provides human resource support for regional economic development by cultivating high-quality technical and skilled talents, while the regional economy offers material and financial guarantees for higher vocational education. There exists a mutually dependent and mutually driving relationship between the two parts. An examination of the impact of higher vocational education on regional economic growth and its effect on the regional economy's development is conducted in the article, with strategies for fostering their combined advancement being proposed, such as augmenting policy direction, intensifying industry-education unification, optimizing professional milieus, and instituting a long-term system. References from the research can be used by the government to devise pertinent policies and foster a harmonious growth of higher vocational education and the local economy.
