Due to the rapid development of the economy and the continuous progress of social technology, the alignment between the professional settings of higher education institutions and industrial demands has become a hot research topic. In order to explore how to better meet the industrial demand for higher education in society, this paper conducted research through the analysis of industrial demand and the optimization of professional clusters in higher education institutions. This article first conducted an in-depth analysis of the development trend of the industry, then conducted optimization research on the direction of professional clusters in higher education institutions, and finally constructed a random forest model for optimization. Through experimental data, it has been proven that the optimized direction of professional clusters in higher education institutions can meet the current industrial needs and increase the employment rate by about 20.8%. This study provided useful references and suggestions for the development of universities and society, promoting social progress and development.
