Abstract

In the context of the new era and the rapid development of the economy and society, industry enterprises are placing higher demands on the quality of talent. Industry-education integration has become an important pathway to promote the deep convergence of higher education and industrial development. Against this backdrop, characteristic industry colleges have emerged as a key vehicle for facilitating industry-education integration, playing a crucial role in cultivating high-quality professionals who meet the evolving needs of industry. Taking the talent training program of the tobacco major at a Chinese university as a case, this study explores the implementation paths of talent cultivation in characteristic industry colleges under the framework of industry-education integration. Nine major aspects are addressed: (1) focusing on industry demand to optimize training objectives; (2) reforming the curriculum system to strengthen practical teaching; (3) innovating teaching methods to stimulate creative thinking; (4) jointly building practice bases to deepen university-enterprise cooperation; (5) encouraging scientific research and innovation to cultivate high-quality talent; (6) enhancing international exchange to broaden global perspectives; (7) constructing diversified evaluation systems to promote comprehensive development; (8) strengthening the “dual-qualified” faculty team to improve teaching quality; and (9) refining talent cultivation programs to establish long-term feedback mechanisms. Practical outcomes of this program indicate that such a model can significantly improve the quality of talent training, with a marked increase in industry satisfaction toward graduates. This approach offers valuable theoretical and practical references for talent cultivation in characteristic industry colleges across other higher education institutions.
