| Abstract | This study investigates the critical factors that influence the effectiveness of modern apprenticeships in Chinese vocational education through the lens of learning ecology. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative data from 438 apprentices with qualitative insights from 48 stakeholder interviews. The findings reveal a hierarchical structure of ecological influence, identifying perceived industry recognition and attitudes toward the dual-mentor system as the most significant predictors of apprenticeship success. Notably, the analysis uncovers a persistent theory-practice gap, fundamentally driven by fragmented institutional collaboration and misaligned curriculum designs. To address these systemic imbalances, this research proposes a comprehensive four-pillar strategic framework. This targeted framework advocates institutionalizing dual-mentor collaborations, establishing dynamic school-enterprise curriculum co-design mechanisms, developing regional skill standards to enhance market credibility, and launching a digital ecosystem platform for transparent resource sharing. Ultimately, this robust study effectively transitions learning ecology from a merely descriptive framework into a highly prescriptive managerial tool, offering vital, evidence-based strategies for institutional administrators to systematically optimize vocational training ecosystems and successfully foster sustainable workforce development across rapidly industrializing Asian economies. |
