Abstract

Higher vocational education is a crucial force supporting regional industrial upgrading, and the quality of the faculty directly determines the effectiveness of talent cultivation. Taking a secondary school of a private vocational college in Chongqing as a sample, this paper conducts a statistical analysis of the faculty team’s gender, age, educational background, professional titles, years of work experience, sources of teachers, and reasons for turnover. For vocational education, problems exist such as imbalanced faculty allocation, lack of double-qualified teachers, talent loss due to turnover, practical teaching constrained by equipment updates and weak industry-education collaboration, and unbalanced compensation and incentive mechanisms. Guided by the “Emphasis on Gold-Standard Faculty” within the “Five Golds and Five Emphases” framework, this paper proposes five pathways for the growth of double-qualified teachers: rolling skill updates aligned with “Gold Specialties/Gold Bases”, immersive enterprise practice feeding back into “Gold Courses/Gold Textbooks”, action-oriented teaching to create “Gold Lessons”, applied research serving “Gold Bases”, and an endogenous growth ecosystem to build “Double-Qualified Teacher Growth Communities”. The study suggests that only by taking industry-education integration as the link, institutional incentives as the guarantee, and teachers’ intrinsic motivation as the foundation can we cultivate a high-quality double-qualified faculty team that supports the high-quality development of vocational education.
