This paper analyzes key challenges faced by vocational college students when participating in national skills competitions. It identifies problems like limited resources, insufficient training, lack of mentorship, academic workload constraints, and inadequate equipment. Targeted solutions are proposed, including improving resource access, providing structured skill training, implementing expert mentorship programs, offering flexible schedules, and upgrading experimental equipment. Implementing these recommendations through a collaborative effort among stakeholders can significantly empower vocational students to excel in skills competitions by enabling access to resources, building practical skills, obtaining guidance, managing time effectively, and gaining hands-on experience.
