In recent years, with the advent of the digital era, the textile industry is undergoing a profound digital transformation, which places increasingly higher demands on textile talents. Higher vocational education, with the core goal of cultivating high-quality technical and skilled personnel, is closely linked to the development of the textile industry and serves as an important talent support for the digital transformation of the textile industry. Against this background, higher vocational colleges should take the initiative to shoulder their educational responsibilities, actively promote the teaching reform of textile majors based on digital transformation, so that teaching content can not only align with the digital upgrading of the textile industry, but also effectively improve the precision of textile teaching, continuously enhance students’ comprehensive quality, ensure that they can fully meet the needs of the digital transformation of the textile industry, boost their employment competitiveness, and supply more high-quality technical and skilled talents with digital thinking for the high-quality development of the textile industry. This paper first expounds the significance of teaching reform for textile majors in higher vocational colleges under the background of digital transformation, and then puts forward a series of effective reform strategies, so as to provide reference for relevant researchers.
