Sino foreign cooperative education in higher vocational colleges plays a crucial role in supporting China's strategy of strengthening education, and it is also a key to cultivate technical and skilled talent with international competitiveness. Currently, four problems exist in this educational model: insufficient synergy between objectives, resources, and curriculum, resulting in poor vertical integration of the talent cultivation system; the industry-education collaboration mechanism needs to be further developed, and horizontal integration of the educational pathway requires strengthening; poor transitions between stages of the apprenticeship system, leading to an unclear career progression path; a lack of international experience among faculty, with faculty development still needing improvement. In response to these problems, the following strategies have been implemented: adopting a “three-pronged guidance, three dimensional integration” model for cultivating international technical and skilled elites; constructing a full chain talent development pathway with four fold coordination and dual-track progression; consolidating the modern apprenticeship system with a three-level, four-category, and five -part approach; developing a curriculum system for cultivating composite internationalized talent; and improving faculty development for the cultivation of composite internationalized talent
