Abstract

The emergence of the "Three News" development concept poses new challenges to the training of graduate students in applied economics. This article assesses the current state of postgraduate education: efforts are underway to optimize the training mechanism, yet instructional methods remain traditional. There is a holistic approach to fostering comprehensive skills, but the nurturing of innovative capacities falls short. There is a strong emphasis on cutting-edge instruction, but the effectiveness of such instruction is less than satisfactory. While faculty strength is continually augmented, the quality of student education is declining. Grounded in this reality, the article delves deeply into the root causes of these issues: the training mechanisms are not fully implemented; management assessment systems are overly quantitative; there is a dearth of advanced educational resources; and there is an excessive number of postgraduate students being trained. In light of these challenges, we propose a talent-training model under the "Three New" perspectives, which includes optimizing team structures and emphasizing experiential learning; consolidating educational resources and fostering innovative paradigms; adjusting curriculum to stay abreast with the latest trends; and developing an assessment framework to perfect the evaluation system. This approach aims to refine the structure of applied economics talent training, promote effective employment, expand international exchanges, and elevate the global standards of talent cultivation.
