Abstract:

The era of innovation-driven development is accelerating the transformation of university students’employment paradigm. The high-quality employment paradigm responds to the demand for innovation and entrepreneurship talents and takes entrepreneurial competence as a key orientation for talent cultivation in higher education. Cultivating university students’ entrepreneurial competence is essentially to develop their lifelong growth capacity and form a practice-oriented competence system integrating knowledge and action, which depends on the dynamic interaction between teaching and learning. However, the inertia of traditional professional education, the insufficient high-quality provision of educational support, and the separation between knowledge and action in talent cultivation models have constrained the development of university students’ entrepreneurial competence in China. Therefore, it is necessary to reform educational concepts and evaluation systems based on entrepreneurial competence, optimize discipline, major, curriculum, and textbook development through the integration of professional education and innovation and entrepreneurship education, and build an ecosystem of practical learning and personalized education through industry-discipline-education collaboration, thereby improving entrepreneurial competence cultivation and advancing the transformation of the high-quality employment paradigm for university students.

Key words: university students’ entrepreneurial competence, high-quality employment paradigm, knowledge system, integration of professional education and innovation and entrepreneurship education, industry-discipline-education collaboration
