This study focuses on key strategies and practical applications for curriculum reform in vocational education amid digital transformation. It explores the integration of digital tools such as virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) into vocational courses to enhance learning outcomes and align with industry needs. The research highlights successful implementations of these technologies, such as AI-driven personalized learning platforms and VR-based technical training simulations. It also addresses the challenges faced by institutions, including the high cost of technology adoption and the need for instructor training. Additionally, the study presents lessons learned from pilot projects, emphasizing industry collaboration, continuous feedback, and phased implementation as critical factors for sustainable reform.
