Abstract
In recent years, although the state has increased support for vocational education from multiple aspects, China's vocational education development still faces some challenges. This research aims to explore the significance of VET and the development pathway for VET in an employment-oriented context. This paper argues that it is necessary to adhere to the development direction of "employment and entrepreneurship" and provide innovative development and operation mechanisms for vocational education products or services in the field of vocational education. Its essence is the deep integration of industry and education, school-enterprise cooperation, and an innovative measure to cultivate qualified technical and skilled talents to meet the talent needs of the labor market. This paper emphasizes that to better adapt to the pressures brought about by changes in the employment environment, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a high-quality vocational education system, effectively improve the quality of vocational education and training, and ensure that vocational education closely aligns with the economic and social development needs and seamlessly meets the actual employment standards of industries and enterprises.
