Abstract：

As a “cross-integration zone” between higher education and vocational education in the new era, aesthetic education in vocational undergraduate institutions must align with the humanistic cultivation requirements of undergraduate education while embodying the core characteristics of vocational education—industry-education integration and the “position-course-competition-certification” model. Current aesthetic education in vocational undergraduate institutions faces prominent challenges, including ambiguous positioning, fragmented curricula, inadequate industry-education collaboration, insufficient digital empowerment, and a monolithic evaluation system. These issues hinder the cultivation of comprehensive competencies required for high-caliber applied talents. Grounded in the positioning of vocational undergraduate education, this paper proposes an innovative "Three-Dimensional Synergy (School-enterprise-community)·Five-dimensional Collaborative Cultivation (Curriculum, Culture, Practice, Digital, Evaluation) “aesthetic education empowerment system. This is achieved by establishing an industry-education integration aesthetic education consortium, developing a modular curriculum matrix, building immersive practice platforms, advancing digital aesthetic education reform, and establishing a diversified evaluation mechanism. This approach facilitates the deep integration of aesthetic education with professional competence, industrial demands, and local culture, providing a practical pathway for vocational undergraduate institutions to cultivate new-era applied talents who “possess aesthetic discernment, mastery of skills, passion, and innovation."
