  ABSTRACT: Based on Human Capital Theory and Technical Skill Accumulation Theory, this study constructs a structural equation model to analyze the formation path of professional skills among vocational college teachers. Through an analysis of 1445 questionnaire samples, the findings indicate that the institutional environment is a significant external driving factor that positively influences school organizational support as well as teachers’ participation in enterprise practice and skills training, while indirectly promoting teachers’ professional skills through the school organization. Participation in enterprise practice and skills training is identified as the core pathway variable with the strongest effect on professional skills development. School organization and professional community interaction also exert direct positive effects on teachers’ professional skills. Individual factors indirectly contribute to professional skill improvement by promoting participation in enterprise practice and skills training. The findings suggest that the professional skills of vocational college teachers are shaped by the synergistic effects of the institutional environment, school organization, enterprise practice and skills training participation, and professional community interaction.
