Within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), this study examines the influence of instructor experience on vocational education at the Nanchang Institute of Technology in Jiangxi. Two hundred students and fifty instructors participated in the study by filling out prepared questionnaires as part of a quantitative research strategy. Academic achievement, skill acquisition, and employment rates are just a few of the student outcomes shown to be substantially improved by teachers with more experience. There were positive connections between teachers' levels of experience and these student results, according to multiple regression analysis, and there were significant differences, according to analysis of variance, depending on the teachers' degrees of experience. The results support policies that promote the hiring, retention, and ongoing professional development of experienced educators, highlighting their critical role in vocational education. If vocational education programs want to help students become more employable and have a positive impact on sustainable development, they need to take these observations into account. In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), the study found that investing in skilled vocational instructors is crucial for attaining quality education and decent employment.
