Abstract: Guided by national strategies for educational modernization, this study explores the pathways for international talent cultivation in local universities. While local universities are pivotal in the higher education system, they face unique challenges such as limited global vision, mismatched curriculum systems, and resource constraints. Through literature analysis, a questionnaire survey of 493 students, and in-depth interviews with 10 faculty members, this research identifies key issues including vague cultivation goals and a "one-way import" model of internationalization. To address these challenges, the study proposes a comprehensive framework: aligning university goals with national strategies, promoting a value-led "connotative" transformation of curricula, and extending global service impact through industry-academic partnerships. The findings provide both theoretical insights and practical strategies for local universities to enhance their global competitiveness and contribute to the high-quality development of higher education.
