ABSTRACT

In key areas of medium economic development, higher vocational colleges and universities need to adjust their specializations in accordance with the industrial structure, thereby promoting the modernization of education and economic growth. Taking City A as an example, this study analyzes the coupling relationship between the professional settings of vocational colleges and the evolution of industrial structure. By analyzing the data on economic transformation, industrial structure adjustment and professional settings of higher vocational colleges in City A from 2015 to 2022, the entropy method is used to determine the weights of indicators and the coupling and coordination models are applied for assessment. The results of the study show that the coupling degree between the professional structure of vocational colleges and the economic and industrial structure of City A has increased from 0.35 to 0.49, reflecting a gradual improvement in the degree of matching between the professional settings and the industrial demands. Meanwhile, the degree of coordination increases from 0.40 to 0.54, showing that the degree of coordination between the professional settings of vocational colleges and the industrial structure has improved. This process indicates that the professional settings of higher vocational colleges and universities in City A are adapting more effectively to the changes in the economic and industrial structure, and that vocational education plays a positive role in supporting the transformation of the regional economy and the optimization of the industrial structure.
