Abstract: Under the background of the high-end development of surveying and mapping geographic information industry, how to cultivate skilled talents in higher vocational colleges has become the focus of current research. Through investigations, it is found that enterprises pay more attention to geographic information system(GIS) technology and application (87.5%), operating unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) information acquisition and processing (84.7%), surveying and mapping instruments use and maintenance(79.2%) skills, and students generally lack GIS software operation and application(68.1%), surveying and mapping instruments use and maintenance(65.3%), operating UAV information acquisition and processing(56.9%). This paper proposes a surveying and mapping geographic information talent training model that integrates “post-course-competition-certificate”, integrates corporate job tasks, vocational certification and skills competition requirements into the curriculum, so that students have the skills that meet the needs of future vocational positions, and adapt to the high-end development of surveying and mapping geographic information industry.

Key words: surveying and mapping geographic information, high-end industrial development, talent training, curriculum system
