        Enterprises expect graduates to have immediate combat power upon graduation, possess professional skills, and be able to flexibly apply them to practical work. Therefore, vocational education must emphasize "practicality and practicality", shorten the gap between learning and application, and ensure that students can directly engage in the workplace.

        2、 Digital technology and cross domain capabilities

Therefore, possessing professional English (such as PVQC) or second language proficiency has become an important bonus for employment.
