Abstract Against the backdrop of industrial transformation driven by digital-intelligent technologies, vocational education functions as a crucial hub connecting education, technology, and talent supply. Its innovative development demands systematic restructuring from the perspective of the integration of education, technology, and talent. From this integrated viewpoint, the logic of vocational education’s innovative development in the digital-intelligent era is analyzed across four dimensions: educational cultivation, technological empowerment, talent development, and integrated collaboration. Correspondingly, four practical approaches are put forward, including education foundation-laying, technological empowerment, joint talent cultivation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Specifically, at the educational level, the curriculum system is restructured with a competency-oriented approach; at the technological level, digital-intelligent technologies drive teaching innovation; at the talent level, industry-education integration facilitates the cultivation of interdisciplinary talent; and at the multi-stakeholder collaboration level, ecological co-construction advances educational innovation and development. Through the collaborative advancement of education, technology, and talent, the organic connection between vocational education and talent cultivation goals is promoted, thereby realizing the sustainable and high-quality development of vocational education in the digital-intelligent era.
