Abstract: The higher vocational English course serves as the primary platform for cultivating the English proficiency and global competence of students in higher vocational colleges. In light of the issues such as inadequate awareness, limited approaches, and constrained conditions in cultivating students' global competence via curriculum carriers in higher vocational institutions, it is feasible to integrate the construction of higher vocational English courses with the proposition of global competence cultivation. By integrating international understanding, workplace scenarios, professional contexts, and ideological and political elements into higher vocational English courses, the educational and teaching scope of language courses can be broadened and extended. During the specific process of course construction and implementation, it is necessary to achieve digitalization of course resources, modularization of course combinations, internationalization of course instructors, contextualization of teaching innovations, and standardization of the evaluation system, thereby forming the "One Course, Two Capacities, Four Integration, Five Transformations " global competence cultivation model for higher vocational English courses. Simultaneously, while highlighting the " Five Characteristics" that higher vocational English as a public basic course should possess, it demonstrates the value of being the main front for cultivating students' global competence and injects vitality into the participation of higher vocational education in international exchanges.
