The integration of industry and education is an inevitable choice for talent cultivation in vocational education. The main participants in the integration of industry and education in vocational education include schools, enterprises, industry associations, and the government. Their relationships of cooperation, interdependence, and mutual development align with the symbiotic relationships of mutual benefit described in "symbiosis" theory. Therefore, this paper uses "symbiosis" theory as a research perspective to actively explore development paths for the integration of industry and education in vocational education, focusing on the three elements of symbiotic units, symbiotic models, and symbiotic environments.
