- Abstract
Under China’s “Double High-Level Plan,” cultivating high-quality, technically skilled international talents has become a core goal of vocational education reform. Despite progress in the internationalization of civil engineering education, challenges persist, including narrow knowledge structures, poor alignment with local industry needs, and limited integration of international exchange with vocational training. Guided by the “VITAL” concept—Value shaping, International vision, Technical skills, Adaptability, and Lifelong learning—this study builds a civil engineering talent training model. The model promotes school-enterprise collaboration, industry-education integration platforms, international exchange, and project-based, practice-oriented teaching reforms. Results show it significantly enhances students’ technical skills, global vision, and adaptability, offering a viable path for the high-quality development of vocational education.
