Abstract: Science and technology and innovation are the main drivers

of social development at this stage. Modern national governance and

education system should further improve the strength of innovation

and entrepreneurship education. However, at present, some colleges

and universities focus on professional subject education, and have in-

sucient knowledge and aention to innovation and entrepreneurship

education. Even if they oer entrepreneurship-related courses, there

are still problems such as ambiguous teaching content, weak entrepre-

neurship teaching atmosphere, and utilitarian teaching objectives. To

this end, this paper focuses on the national double-rst construction

strategic tasks, innovative talent training system research, and colleges

and universities’ innovative talent training plan.

Keywords: double-rst background; entrepreneurship education;

talent training.

1. Introduction

Double-rst construction is an important strategic decision for the

development of education in China at present. It has repositioned and

shaped the direction and basic paern of higher education and im-

proved the awareness of innovation and entrepreneurship education

and innovative talent training in colleges and universities. Innovation

is the process of turning a new concept into commercial success or

widespread use. Creativity is an active process necessarily involved in

innovation. It is a learning habit that requires skill as well as especif-

ic understanding of the contexts in which creativity is being applied.

Plan professional courses, teaching methods, coordinate domestic re-

sources, and social resources, and take advantage of national cultural

exchange opportunities to jointly promote the construction plan. In-

novation and entrepreneurship education needs to rely on the imple-

mentation of the talent training function of colleges and universities

(Cabero, 2019; Guachi, 2019). Therefore, it is necessary to establish cor-

responding training strategies from a practical perspective, focusing

on the current situation of talent training in colleges and universities.

2. The development of innovation and entrepreneurship educa-

tion in colleges and universities

2.1. Establish an innovation and entrepreneurship education system

It is necessary to take innovation and entrepreneurship as the

strategic goal of navigation, and with this as the focus of work, colleges

and universities should build an innovation and entrepreneurship ed-

ucation college with the awareness of integrating thinking and overall

planning, combining on-campus resources, social resources, scientic

research strength, and talent advantages. As the overall lead unit, the

School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship coordinates the Student

Oce, the Academic Aairs Oce, and other departments to work

together to pool their wisdom and jointly promote the implementation

of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Improve various facilities and promote internal and external co-

operation. The educational resources of colleges and universities are

limited. In order to ensure that the reform of innovation and entrepre-

neurship education is implemented in colleges and universities, col-

leges and universities should coordinate the educational resources of

all parties inside and outside the university, strengthen the construc-

tion of various infrastructures such as software and hardware, so that

students can use rich resources to carry out entrepreneurial practice

activities. At the same time, in the process of promotion, it is necessary

to use the information-based communication platform and the infor-

mation-based management platform to promote various functional

departments to strengthen contact and promote collaborative prog-

ress (Zhou, 2021). Educational funds should be invested from dier-

ent channels to provide nancial support for innovation and entrepre-

neurship education, special services, and construction of venues and

hardware facilities to mark sure the education work is implemented

faster.

2.2. Building a Hybrid Guidance System

Establish genes and concepts, and innovate talent training mod-

els. Colleges and universities should aim to build morality and cul-

tivate people, implement innovation and entrepreneurship education

into the whole process of talent training, and integrate innovation

and entrepreneurship concepts and methods with professional course

teaching. In the theoretical teaching of professional courses, strength-

en the practice of innovation and entrepreneurship, form teaching

characteristics, synergize social resources, establish a training plan

for innovative and entrepreneurial talents, and use multiple practical

measures to stimulate the innovative spirit and entrepreneurial ability

of college students (Yang & Wang, 2020).

Taking informatization as the form of education, establish an on-

line and oine hybrid teaching mode, for all students, provide em-

ployment and entrepreneurship guidance for students in the form of

Journal of Latin American Sciences and Culture, 4(5)

compulsory courses and elective courses, and combine profession-

al characteristics to establish general education + subject foundation

majors. The innovation and entrepreneurship education curriculum

system of “education + independent curriculum. Colleges and univer-

sities should transform from traditional lecture-based teaching to net-

work-based teaching, relying on online course teaching forms such as

MOOCs and Tencent Classrooms to provide support for the creation

of innovation and entrepreneurship education courses. Today’s col-

lege students are a generation that grew up in the development of the

Internet, so they are more receptive to the online teaching model, and

through online teaching, they can widely mobilize and strengthen the

practice of students’ innovation and entrepreneurship courses and the

progress of teaching tasks monitor.

2.3. Build an innovation and entrepreneurship platform

It is college teachers who should encourage college students to

actively participate in innovation and entrepreneurship practice teach-

ing activities, so that students have the courage to break the routine,

learn innovation and entrepreneurship theory, pool creativity, and

strengthen their practical ability with the help of innovation and en-

trepreneurship practice platform. Before that, colleges and universities

need to practice entrepreneurship for students, build entrepreneurial

incubation parks, integrate internal and external resources, and pro-

vide one-stop guidance and services for college students to start their

own businesses (Xie, Chen, & Li, 2020).

The close combination of theory and practice helps students make

innovations and breakthroughs. Colleges and universities need to up-

date and optimize in real-time according to the practical teaching sit-

uation of students’ innovation and entrepreneurship education and

form an innovative experimental training system for college students

around the four levels of colleges and universities, branches, provinc-

es, cities, and countries. At the same time, colleges and universities

should build an innovation and entrepreneurship practice education

system, combine existing resources of teaching schools with social re-

sources, strengthen school-enterprise cooperation, jointly build and

share resources, build a school-enterprise cooperative teaching plat-

form, and integrate technology, practical positions, specic projects

with professional courses and innovation and entrepreneurship edu-

cation to deepen talent training under the joint action of schools and

enterprises (Wen, 2019).

Advocate innovative practice and create a second classroom. Col-

leges and universities should actively play the role of the second class-

room in innovation, entrepreneurship education, and combine the

specic work content of innovation and entrepreneurship education

as a compulsory course for students to achieve full coverage of stu-

dent education, and regularly introduce innovation and entrepreneur-

ship education into the second classroom. Create a resource library of

high-quality teaching project cases.

Journal of Latin American Sciences and Culture, 4(5)

3. Double-rst, strategic positioning in construction

3.1. Double-rst, the fundamental foothold of the university

To build a double-rst, the overall goal of the university is to cul-

tivate talents, scientic research, social services, cultural inheritance,

and innovation. Higher education institutions have become an import-

ant force for knowledge dissemination and scientic and technologi-

cal innovation, an important carrier of advanced ideas and excellent

cultural inheritance. In order to implement this overall goal, although

the four development tasks of talent training, scientic research, social

service, and cultural inheritance and innovation have been specied,

it needs to be clear that in innovation and entrepreneurship education,

the cultivation of innovative talents is the foundation of all develop-

ment and education. Colleges and universities need to rely heavily on

the cultivation of innovative talents so that the four development tasks

form a state of mutual coupling. In the process of cultivating innovative

talents, colleges and universities need to combine teaching, scientic

research, labor, etc. to build a positive and innovative, knowledge-re-

specting academic environment for students, so that innovative talent

training education, and scientic research, social services and cultural

heritage are connected. At the same time, it can also provide students

with scientic research units or industrial units with direct experience

and ability, and integrate the educational resources of colleges and

universities, scientic research resources of scientic research units,

production resources of enterprises, and cultural resources, which not

only meets the task requirements of practical education in colleges and

universities but also meets the talent needs of economic and social de-

velopment, and at the same time, consciously inherit traditional cul-

ture in talent training, and carry out innovation and development of

traditional culture.

3.2. Collaborative multi-task integration promotion

The deepening of a single task and the coordination of multiple

tasks are the basic logic of building a double-rst university. The fun-

damental task of implementing the task of building a rst-class insti-

tution of higher learning is the cultivation of innovative talents. Specif-

ically, it is analyzed at two levels.

Highlight the core of talent training, clarify the requirements

for the ability and quality of innovative talent training, and cultivate

students’ sense of mission and social responsibility, so that students

have the innovative spirit and practical ability required by modern

society, and become compound and applied professionals. Schools

can encourage and support students to participate in innovative and

entrepreneurial practice activities, stimulate students’ wisdom and

personality, and enable students to improve their comprehensive per-

sonal quality in social practice, broaden their international vision, and

develop scientic spirit and entrepreneurial awareness.

Journal of Latin American Sciences and Culture, 4(5)

Colleges and universities should combine the innovative talent

training plan with other ideological tasks to form a relationship of mu-

tual connection and simultaneous development. First, teachers should

play a guiding role, and colleges and universities should strengthen

the construction of teachers’ morality and style, build a professional

team of teachers with ideals, morality, self-cultivation, and benevo-

lence, or hire a variety of companies to share their workplace expe-

rience, especially alumni enterprises, more authenticity and anity.

Strengthen the development of scientic research disciplines and the

improvement of professional capabilities, focus on building a number

of domestic leading disciplines and research elds that are comparable

to international scientic research levels, and create an innovative and

entrepreneurial practice environment, so that students can take the ini-

tiative to explore in a relaxed academic atmosphere.

4. The integration of innovation and entrepreneurship educa-

tion and talent training

4.1. From the perspective of entrepreneurial practice, focus on the culti-

vation of workability

Workability is an important part of talent training in the new era,

and it is also the foundation for students to stand in society and achieve

self-development after graduation. However, at this stage, the basic

workability of students is not connected with the majors they study

in universities, which means that the majors that many studies are not

related to the jobs they engage in after graduation. Therefore, when

establishing a training plan around workability, two aspects should be

considered. The rst is the job counterpart, which has relatively high

requirements and measurement standards for students’ workability

and is also relatively professional. It is necessary to master the profes-

sional knowledge and professional skills required in the correspond-

ing position. For construction engineering surveying positions, it is

necessary to clarify the measurement technology, lay-out operation,

etc., as well as to pay aention to new technologies and new theories in

the industry, and to comprehensively consider the dierent character-

istics of dierent building structures and quality requirements.

For design positions, you must know how to draw, use electronic

drawing tools, and master some mechanics knowledge. These jobs are

very professional, but being able to do these jobs requires the support

of basic abilities. If you lack systematic knowledge and basic abilities,

you will be unable to do the job just by virtue of your interest. For

non-corresponding work, such as clerical, administrative, personnel,

and other types of work, there is no high technical content. Although

these jobs do not have technical requirements, they also require basic

work skills. For example, master oce software, copywriting, inter-

personal communication, and other skills. Therefore, to cultivate inno-

vative talents, the cultivation of their working ability is very import-

ant, so that students can comprehensively analyze and solve practical

problems based on the knowledge they have learned and accumulated

Journal of Latin American Sciences and Culture, 4(5)

practical experience. When encountering complex problems, it can

also exibly reorganize knowledge according to the existing knowl-

edge system and nd new solutions. Therefore, colleges and univer-

sities should build a practical education platform for innovation and

entrepreneurship, strengthen the integration of production and educa-

tion, establish a school-enterprise coordination compound profession-

al talent training mechanism, and focus on the basic working abilities

that innovative talents need to master to stimulate their potential.

4.2. From the perspective of thinking, focus on thinking training

Most people do not think that this is an important ability in the

understanding of ideological values. In real work, it is dicult to dis-

tinguish between strengths and weaknesses due to dierences in indi-

vidual concepts. For example: in the same class, some students study

well in school, but after graduation, their work is not satisfactory and

their life is relatively mediocre, while some students have mediocre

grades in school, but their careers are ourishing. The fundamental

reason for these dierences lies in the ability of individuals, as well as

the inuence of family factors and growth background. At the same

time, the key factor that plays a major role is the dierence in individu-

al ideological values. For example, many students in colleges and uni-

versities are in a state of confusion when facing career planning and

life choices. They do not know what they will do in the future. How

to make career planning to maximize their own interests and values?

Students do not have a clear understanding of these.

They often face life and deal with work problems with a “let by”

mentality, without considering their long-term career development

and life. However, if students have scientic, objective, and correct

ideological values, and can take their career and life seriously with

scientic cognition, it will be easier to see the essence of the problem

when facing setbacks in life, and to strengthen the direction of their

choice. Therefore, colleges and universities should strengthen the cul-

tivation of students’ thinking ability, so that students can establish

scientic and objective values and outlook on life. For example, in re-

sponse to this problem, Zhejiang University has proposed strength-

ening the characteristics of the integration of science and education,

emphasizing that scientic research educates people, encouraging stu-

dents to actively participate in scientic research, and training logical

thinking in the process of discovering new phenomena, revealing new

mechanisms, and establishing new theories. At the same time, it ad-

vocates breaking disciplinary barriers, forming a project orientation,

promoting the construction of a multi-disciplinary talent training cen-

ter of excellence, cultivating innovative talents in the interdisciplinary

and knowledge integration, and improving students’ thinking ability

and innovation ability.

Journal of Latin American Sciences and Culture, 4(5)

4.3. Promote the international development of education

The current era is an organically connected whole, which endows

the cultivation of innovative talents with national characteristics. Un-

der the dual strategy of going out and inviting in, colleges and uni-

versities should focus on the national education strategy to improve

the ability of innovative talents to participate in international aairs.

For example: Encourage and guide students to actively participate in

international academic exchanges, strengthen cultural communication

and interpersonal communication skills in cross-cultural exchanges,

be able to stand at the forefront of the development of the times, pay

aention to and gain insight into the trend of scientic development,

broaden the international vision, and understand the common inter-

ests of all mankind important development issues of concern. After

the double-rst construction is implemented, colleges and univer-

sities should increase the number of library books, provide students

with a variety of academic resources, improve various hardware and

software infrastructure, and provide students with opportunities for

diverse practice, so that students can use these resources to develop

comprehensive capabilities.

Eorts are made to add exchange programs with world-class

universities and strive to provide each student with an opportunity

for overseas exchange and learning, as well as the active expansion

of high-level international talent training programs proposed by Ts-

inghua University, all focus on cultivating innovative talents who are

competent in international aairs.

5. Conclusion

Based on the above analysis, innovation and entrepreneurship

education are directly related to the cultivation of innovative talents.

In double-rst university construction, the quality of talent cultivation

also determines the competitiveness and advantages of talents in so-

cial development. Colleges and universities should stand in the cen-

ter of economic and social development. The required compound and

applied talent training and international development perspective,

combined with national education policies, organize students to par-

ticipate in innovation and entrepreneurship social practice activities,

academic exchanges, etc., provide students with rich educational re-

sources and innovation and entrepreneurship practice opportunities

so that students can use resources and practical activities to improve

their comprehensive ability and align themselves with the talent stan-

dards required by society.
