With the development of Hainan Province and the progress of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP), the modern industrial colleges in application-oriented universities have been the essential carriers of the integration of education and industry. A nested mixed-methods design based on Triple Helix and resource dependence theories is used to survey 578 participants from five modern industrial colleges in Hainan. The study explores the influences of policy support and the cooperation of education and industry on talent cultivation quality and social service ability with curriculum adaptability and the share of dual-qualification teachers as mediators. The findings show that both policy support and the deep cooperation between universities and industries significantly enhance the quality of talent cultivation. Curriculum adaptability partially mediated the link between policy support and talent quality. A larger proportion of dual-qualification teachers is linked to stronger social service capacity, partly through better talent quality. The success of modern industrial colleges depends not only on policy benefits but also on building genuine shared-interest communities between industry and universities and on flexible curriculum-updating mechanisms.
