Abstract

Industrial revitalization is the core support for the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, and the supply of high-quality skilled talents in rural areas is the key to industrial revitalization. As the main position for talent cultivation rooted in rural areas and serving county-level regions, rural vocational education relies on industry-education integration as the core grip to achieve precise matching of the "industrial chain-talent chain" and solve the mismatch between talent supply and demand. Adopting the methods of literature research and field investigation, this paper takes the matching of "industrial chain-talent chain" as the core research perspective, systematically defines the core connotations of rural vocational education, industry-education integration and dual-chain matching, deeply sorts out the internal theoretical logic of dual-chain collaborative education, and accurately analyzes the practical dilemmas of current industry-education integration such as the mismatch between industrial chain and talent chain supply and demand, the fault of collaborative mechanism, insufficient resource support and lagging evaluation system based on the actual running of county-level rural vocational education. It puts forward targeted breakthrough paths from four dimensions: dynamic adaptation of majors, reconstruction of education mode, improvement of collaborative mechanism and perfection of guarantee system, aiming to promote the resonance between talent cultivation of rural vocational education and rural industrial development, effectively enhance the practical efficiency of vocational education in empowering rural industrial revitalization and talent revitalization, and help the full implementation of rural revitalization.
