[Abstract] At present, the existing problems in the training mode of international trade master's degree in local colleges and universities in China are: the training objectives are not clear, and the training mode is relatively single; The structure of teaching staff is single, and the curriculum system is imperfect; Inadequate innovation ability and few practice opportunities; There is a shortage of students in local colleges and universities, and the quality is relatively poor. In order to promote the reform of the cultivation mode of master's degree in international trade, we should integrate educational resources and build a joint cultivation mode of government, industry, university, research and application; Improve the training program, and the training goal is mainly applied and innovative; Strengthening discipline construction and building multi-level teacher structure; Strengthen the cultivation of graduate students' innovation ability; Improve the quality assurance system. Through these measures, resources will be comprehensively integrated to form a positive interaction and cultivate high-level innovative and application-oriented talents in international trade for China's social and economic development.

Since the reform and opening up, after more than 30 years of development, China's graduate education has trained a large number of high-level talents for the country. A large number of graduate students have become the backbone of all industries in China, providing valuable human resources for socialist modernization and the development of the country's economy and society. Based on the strategic goal of cultivating high-level talents independently in China, China's graduate education has initially established a relatively complete graduate training system. However, compared with international high-level graduate education, China's graduate education started late, lacked training experience, weak innovation and application ability, and graduates could not meet the needs of social and economic development. In 2010, it was mentioned in the Outline of the National Medium and Long term Talent Development Plan (2010-2020): "implement the policy of industry university research cooperation to cultivate innovative talents; implement the postgraduate education innovation plan, establish a two-way exchange system for high-level talents in universities, scientific research institutes and enterprises, and implement the" double tutorial system "of industry university research joint cultivation of graduate students." In 2011, the Ministry of Education put forward the "Innovation Capability Improvement Plan for Colleges and Universities", which requires that colleges and universities should vigorously promote in-depth cooperation with scientific research institutions and industry enterprises, establish collaborative innovation strategic alliances, and promote resource sharing. In 2016, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized in the Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Talent Development System and Mechanism: "Explore the establishment of a talent training mechanism oriented by innovation and entrepreneurship, and improve the collaborative education model of 'government, industry, university, research and application'." It can be seen that the current training model of master's degree students should deepen the reform in the direction of 'government, industry, university, research and application'.
1、 Problems in the current training mode of international trade master students in local colleges and universities
The postgraduate education of international trade in China has long been aimed at cultivating teaching and research talents with the ability to independently engage in scientific research or teaching work, while it is relatively weak in the cultivation of innovative and applied talents. In 2016, there were about 124 colleges and universities across the country to enroll master's degree students in international trade, and thousands of master's degree students in international trade were trained for the country every year. On the whole, however, the current training mode of Master of International Trade is not perfect, mainly in the following aspects:
(1) The training objectives are not clear and the training mode is relatively simple
The goal of postgraduate education in China is to cultivate academic and research talents, while the major of international trade puts forward higher requirements for the application and practicality of postgraduate. The goal of cultivating master's degree students in international trade in colleges and universities is to cultivate a comprehensive and solid theoretical foundation in economics and international trade as well as systematic expertise in foreign trade and economic cooperation, be able to investigate and study practical international economic and trade issues, have basic international exchange ability, and go to the foreign trade department All kinds of foreign-related enterprises are engaged in middle and high level practical work of foreign trade and economic cooperation, or engaged in relevant teaching and research work in scientific research institutions of colleges and universities. However, from the perspective of curriculum, colleges and universities still devote most of their energy to the cultivation of academic talents, which makes it difficult to cultivate innovative and applied international trade talents. Therefore, the training objectives of master's degree students in international trade are not clear, and the positioning of academic or applied talents is not clear. In addition, the current postgraduate training model in China is relatively simple. After students pass the entrance examination, during the training process, quality supervision and evaluation links such as course assessment, scientific research paper assessment and dissertation defense are stipulated, but the evaluation system and management system of these links are not too strict. After three years of study, academic research and thesis defense, you can generally get credits and graduate successfully. The "strict in and lenient out" postgraduate training mode has affected and reduced the quality of postgraduate education, evaluated their ability and level through students' conditions, ignored the cultivation of practice and innovation ability of postgraduate, and caused the phenomenon that the trained talents do not meet the needs of employers.
