The integration between industry and education is a new approach that combines the education chain

industry chain

innovation chain

and talent chain. This model provides a fresh strategy for talent cultivation in colleges and universities. Graduation internship is a crucial component of talent cultivation in the specialty of polymer materials and engineering. However

graduation internship encounters some challenges such as outdated knowledge

limited internship opportunities

insufficient quality instructors

inadequate internship platforms

and lack of enterprise engagement. The factors above have significantly impacted the actual effectiveness of the course. The specialty of polymer materials and engineering aims to cultivate applied research talents. Based on the integration of industry and education

a new “quaternity” graduation internship course system comprising curriculum

platfrom

faculty and development community was proposed. This initiative has actively promoted the construction of graduation internship course

established high-level internship platforms

formed engineering practice instructor teams

fostered a development community for education

and implemented an internship quality monitoring system. The teaching reforms and talent cultivation of graduation internships have yielded remarkable results and the internship satisfaction has significantly improved. This approach offers a new perspective on teaching reforms for graduation internships at colleges and universities.
