Exploration and Research on Modes of Industry-Education Integration and School-Enterprise Cooperation of Business Majors in Vocational Education in the New Era by Taking Shandong Institute of Commerce and Technology as An Example

The new technological revolution dominated by the Internet, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, and the development of the industrial Internet, have put forward new requirements for the cultivation of talents in vocational education. The convening of the National Education Conference, the publication of the reform plan for China’s vocational education and the proposal of establishing 50 high-level advanced vocational schools with 150 key majors, all require vocational education to deepen industry-education integration and school-enterprise cooperation. All these moves are to promote the organic connection between the education chain, the talent chain, the industrial chain, and the innovation chain. How could we improve the enthusiasm of enterprises, promote the deep participation of enterprises in collaborative education, and change the issues of "one-sided enthusiasm" and "Two skins", which are still difficult problems for vocational education? Shandong Institute of Commerce and Technology has carried out some beneficial explorations in running programs on base of school-enterprises cooperation, implementation of modern apprenticeship, order-class training, and co-construction of teacher studios to provide social services. All these programs also stimulate the enthusiasm of enterprises to participate in vocational education, achieving mutual benefit during the cooperation.
