Cultivation of Highly Skilled Talents at the Bachelor degree of Vocational Education in Major Iron and Steel Metallurgy --Exploration Under the Background of New-Quality Productive Forces From the Perspective of Industry-Education Integration and School-

Abstract

In the era of Industry 4.0, the global metallurgy industry is undergoing technological and industrial upgrades. This paper analyzes the current situation and development trends of the metallurgy industry, aiming to provide a reference for the cultivation of high-skilled talent in China. The industry is developing towards intelligence, sustainability, informatization, and service-oriented growth. Developed countries such as the United States and Japan have achieved technological breakthroughs. Developing countries like China are accelerating industrial transformation through the "Made in China 2025" initiative, improving technology levels and product quality, and promoting green production. Future development will place more emphasis on the efficient use of resources and environmental protection, such as the development of technologies for utilizing low-grade iron resources, improving energy efficiency, while also advancing informatization and service-oriented approaches. In the context of new productivity, undergraduate metallurgy education in China needs to follow industry trends by optimizing courses and teaching through school-enterprise cooperation, integration of industry, academia, and research, and strengthening students' practical skills.
