With the increasing number of Chinese university students, employment pressure has reached an unprecedented scale. In this context, in 2015, former Premier Li Keqiang proposed the initiative of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation," and entrepreneurship education has been highly emphasized. Currently, research on entrepreneurship education mainly focuses on the theoretical level, with limited practical research, particularly lacking studies on the integration of professional education and entrepreneurship education. Therefore, this paper focuses on higher vocational colleges and aims to explore the practice of entrepreneurship education and the challenges faced by the electronic commerce major in higher vocational colleges. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the entrepreneurship education situation in the electronic commerce major at higher vocational colleges and provides valuable insights for improving entrepreneurship education.
