Abstract
In the era of digital intelligence, developing the workforce's digital innovation capabilities is essential for enhancing corporate digital prowess, fostering business transformation, and ensuring high-quality enterprise growth. College students, as future contributors to the labor market, must therefore be equipped with robust digital innovation skills. Currently, however, these skills among students in domestic institutions are broadly deficient, and both theoretical and practical research in this area remain underdeveloped. This gap threatens the sustainable progress of domestic businesses and necessitates urgent development of effective training strategies. Extensive review of international literature and current practices reveals that college students' digital innovation skill development is hindered by inadequate theoretical underpinnings, ambiguous training objectives, a scarcity of collaborative educational mechanisms, limited resources, and imperfect instructional systems. Addressing these issues requires a redefinition of digital innovation competencies tailored to college students, aligned with labor market demands. This paper advocates for the establishment of joint training ecosystems, the broadening of resource integration channels, the enhancement of dynamic interdisciplinary systems, and the reform of flexible pedagogical and assessment methods. These recommendations aim to fortify the framework for nurturing digital innovation capabilities among college students in China.
