Exploration of Lingnan Jade Carving Training Models from the Perspective of Industry-Education Integration

As Lingnan jade carving represents a significant intangible cultural heritage, adapting to the changes in societal development has become a critical issue in the development of the jade carving industry. Currently, jade carving education is challenged by a lack of educational resources, a disconnect between education and market demands, and a mismatch between the learning cycle and teaching methods. Faced with these challenges, the integration of industry and education is viewed as the future trend. This study explores various cooperative models, including academic year segmentation, "customized training" model, and flexible training models, with the aim of aligning jade carving education with market needs and achieving the integration of industry and education. Furthermore, based on this foundation, the study proposes enhancements to these models, including optimizing the curriculum and teaching system, deepening school-enterprise cooperation, and jointly creating master studios to refine the industry-education integration model.
