ABSTRACT: Against the backdrop of the national innovation-driven development strategy and the high-quality development of vocational education, higher vocational colleges have become important sources of technological innovation and skilled talent development. The effectiveness of their scientific and technological achievements transformation directly affects regional economic upgrading. Taking 14 Guangdong higher vocational colleges selected for the first round of the national “Double High Plan” as research samples, and drawing on the Action Plan for Special Operations on Patent Conversion and Utilization (2023-2025) and Guangdong’s 2024 reform on job-related achievement management, this study employs the TOE (Technology-Organization-Environment) framework to analyze the prominent issues of dormant patents, weak supply-demand matching, and uneven institutional implementation. The findings indicate that insufficient technological maturity, lack of transfer institutions, biased evaluation mechanisms, and policy implementation blockages are key constraints. Correspondingly, this paper proposes countermeasures such as adopting single-listing management for job-related achievements, co-establishing concept validation and pilot-scale testing platforms, reconstructing classification-based evaluation systems, and cultivating professional technology transfer teams. These recommendations aim to support the construction of the “New Double High Plan” and enhance vocational education’s contribution to the development of new, quality productive forces.
