ABSTRACT

This paper explores the challenges faced by student societies in vocational colleges, including irregular management, funding shortages, low-level and uninnovative activities, weak faculty support, lack of scientific management and effective guidance, and inadequate publicity. In response to these challenges, strategies such as optimizing management mechanisms, expanding funding channels, enhancing activity quality, strengthening faculty development, reinforcing scientific management and effective guidance, and increasing publicity efforts are proposed. This paper aims to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the healthy development of student societies in vocational colleges, promoting these societies as vital platforms for enhancing students' comprehensive skills and vocational abilities.
