Abstract

This case study evaluates the innovative digital talent cultivation model at Guangdong Polytechnic of Science and Technology (GPST), specifically within the Huawei Kunpeng Digital Industry Academy. The research identifies the academy’s strategies to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry needs. Key components of the GPST model include a collaborative curriculum development with Huawei, project-based learning to enhance practical skills, and a faculty team with dual qualifications in academia and industry. The study demonstrates that this approach has led to significant outcomes, such as high employability rates, advanced skill acquisition, and a thriving culture of innovation and entrepreneurship among graduates. The findings emphasize the importance of industry-academia partnerships in shaping educational programs that produce graduates ready for the digital workforce. The paper concludes that GPST’s adaptable and industry-aligned model is effective for preparing students for the dynamic demands of the digital economy and suggests that such collaborations are essential for the future of vocational education and talent development.
