This paper proposed a new talents training mode based on Outcomes-based Education (OBE) concept. Training objectives and curriculum system of Business English talents training are first determined and established based on professional requirements from the business industry. Curriculum system is divided into four functional modules, and time proportion of each module is allocated. Then, a new online + offline blended teaching method is presented based on learning-centered principle of OBE to change traditional passive learning practice. A formative multivariate evaluation mode is also designed and presented in the paper. Comparing with traditional evaluation method, it is out-come oriented. The effectiveness of the proposed mode is verified experimentally. Results of practical teaching indicate that the proposed talents training mode based on OBE concept has greatly improved students' learning initiative, and better met the professional needs of the business industry.
