Abstract: The protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage are faced with the test of both technical and spiritual inheritance. Compared with other colleges, higher vocational colleges have natural advantages in the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage due to their attributes of "instrumental rationality" and "industry culture consciousness" as well as the characteristics of type education. With the help of Seci model theory, through the analysis of actual research data, market analysis and the policy analysis, and taking L Vocational University as an example, the appropriateness of Seci model in the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage is analyzed. Based on the "field" (ba) condition in Seci model, combined with the background and experience of school-enterprise cooperation and deepening integration of industry and education, it is proposed to build a knowledge interaction platform with modern apprenticeship, a joint cultivation platform with school-enterprise cooperation mechanism, a cooperation platform with industry-university-research collaboration mechanism, and a talent cultivation and innovation platform with a multi-party guarantee system of government, industry, enterprise and school. Thus, the higher vocational colleges can participate in the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage scientifically and effectively.
