ABSTRACT: Based on the Marxist theory of productive forces, this paper analyzes the internal mechanism of cultivating new-quality talents—defined in this study as professionals who possess advanced digital literacy, cross-disciplinary innovation capabilities, and complex problem-solving competencies required by the digital-intelligent transformation of the equipment manufacturing industry—through the integration of industry and education empowered by digital intelligence. The innovation of digital and intelligent means of labor inevitably requires new-quality talents, as core workers, to reshape their capabilities. The alliance promotes the dialectical unity of the three elements of productive forces through technological empowerment, mechanism integration, and capability reshaping. In response to the current predicaments such as the failure of factor synergy, the lag in the supply of means of labor, the weakness of the “double-qualified” teacher team, and the lag in evaluation, this paper proposes a four-in-one practical approach of “mechanism innovation—resource optimization—teacher team building—teaching reform”, providing a systematic solution for vocational education to empower new productive forces.
