ABSTRACT

The transformation and development of local universities is of significant importance in the context of China's economic development and industrial structure adjustment. This transformation addresses the challenges faced by local universities and can be understood through three basic forms: categorized development, differentiated development, and collaborative development. In the process of transformation, the construction of first-class colleges and first-class majors, often referred to as the "Double First-Class" initiative, is a key goal. The specific content of building a "Double First-Class" institution includes eight aspects: first-class major construction, first-class applied talent cultivation, first-class course construction, first-class applied practice education platform construction, first-class teacher team construction, first-class campus culture construction, first-class internal management construction, and first-class social service capability construction. The demand for talent in national economic and social development is multi-level and diverse. Every industry requires top-notch talent. Local applied undergraduate institutions should seize opportunities to achieve the "Double First-Class" construction goals in their transformation and development.
