Catering service industry, Internationalization, Talent cultivation model.

This study seeks to address several critical issues plaguing the culinary profession. There is a notable lack of an international perspective among catering service professionals, and the profession faces a shortage of skilled talent and a structural imbalance. Further, the resources available on culinary professional talent training platforms are singular and insufficient. Simultaneously, there is a pressing demand for the expansion of international exchange and cooperation. To tackle these challenges, this study proposes to build an integrated vocational-educational training model, which emphasizes "learning in work, working in learning". The study aims to establish a "multi-dimensional interactive" talent development mechanism. This mechanism is characterized by being "government-led, industry-guided, enterprise-involved, research-promoted, and school-centred". By offering practical courses that align with industry standards, the study underlines the integration of vocational education in the cultivation of skilled talent. The goal is to create a "multi-dimensional interactive vocational-educational integration" talent training model, thereby expanding avenues for talent cultivation in the catering service industry of international tourism cities.
