Abstract: The paper discusses the policy context and intrinsic meaning of industral colleges and identifiesthree major challenges currently hindering their development. The independence of organizational structuresis often overlooked, resulting in low operational efficiency. The unclear delineation of roles and responsibil-ities among various stakeholders has led to a coordination dilemma, characterized by a strong enthusiasmfrom educational institutions but a lukewarm response from enterprises. In effective mechanisms for adap-ting to shifts in market supply and demand create a disconnect between talent cultivation and industryneeds, often referred to as the "two separate tracks" problem. To address these issues, this paper proposesconstruction paths along three dimensions: Firstly, it emphasizes the need to strengthen policy support andreform the property rights system to establish a legal and material foundation for the effective operation ofindustrial colleges. Secondly, it suggests improving the governance mechanism centered around the "1 +1+ N" model, enhancing collaborative education efficiency through the "three partnerships plus one plat-form" approach. Thirdly, it advocates for optimizing market-oriented operational models by establishing dy-namic feedback mechanisms that facilitate a precise alignment between the education chain, talent chain,and industrial chain. The study concludes that only through systematic innovation in institutional frame-works, governance, and operational methodologies, industrial colleges can truly fulfill their vital role as key vehicles for industry-education integration, ultimately providing sustainable, high-quality technical and
skilled talent necessary for regional industrial transformation and upgrade.
