Abstract

An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. First, a qualitative multiple-case study was conducted, analyzing three typical industry-education integration models through interviews and documents. Second, a quantitative survey of 415 university students in Wenzhou was administered, with data analyzed using structural equation modeling to test hypotheses derived from the qualitative phase and our theoretical framework. The study reveals that localized education fosters talent for New Quality Productivity through two synergistic paths: enhancing students’ cognition of emerging industries via curriculum-embeddedness, and strengthening practical skills and local occupational identity through deep university-enterprise coupling. These factors significantly increase graduates’ willingness to work locally. Key systemic barriers, including policy misalignment and slow curricular response to technological change, were also identified. This research makes two primary contributions. Theoretically, it integrates Regional Innovation Systems and Triple Helix models to propose a novel “Dynamic Response” analytical framework for understanding education at the municipal level. Empirically, it provides one of the first systematic investigations into the operationalization of “New Quality Productivity” within local higher education, offering evidence-based insights for policy and practice.
