Introduction. The success of a country’s and region’s socio-economic development is determined by its human resource potential, the enhancement of which is influenced, in part, by the system of career guidance. Since 2018, significant transformations have been observed in the field of career guidance following the country’s president’s increased focus on this segment of general education, necessitating scientific understanding and analysis. A five-year period is deemed sufficient to assess the changes in approaches to career guidance and outline the prospects for further development.
Aim. To substantiate the viability of the background model of professional self-determination in a professionally-oriented educational environment.
Methods. The study employed retrospective analysis, theoretical modeling, synthesis, generalization, and comparison methods.
Results. Trends and prospects in the development of students’ career guidance, including the author’s background model of professional self-determination in a professionally oriented educational environment, are presented. Scientific novelty. An analysis of current approaches and models of students’ career guidance over a five-year retrospective period has been conducted. A background model of professional self-determination in a professionally-oriented educational environment has been proposed.
Practical significance. The research results can be utilized by education management professionals in the development of comprehensive regional programs for career guidance in the general education system.
Introduction. In contemporary Russian educational policy, the task of creating a “seamless” education system that ensures continuity and coherence of workforce training across educational levels has become increasingly relevant. At the same time, the development of the knowledge economy and the dynamic nature of the labour market enhance the importance of transprofessional competencies.
Aim. The study aims to analyze the opportunities and limitations of implementing seamless education in Russia and to identify the conditions for its development in the context of transprofessionalization processes.
Methods. The study is based on an analysis of scholarly literature on vocational and lifelong education, public statements by government officials and experts, as well as participant observation conducted by the author in the field of pedagogical practice.
Results. The key conditions for the development of a seamless education system are identified, including the continuity of educational programs, lifelong learning, and the integration of educational institutions with the labour market. The main causes of educational gaps are also determined, such as inconsistencies between educational standards, human and resource constraints, and regional disparities in the development of educational infrastructure. The findings demonstrate that the development of transprofessional competencies becomes an important factor in the modernization of the educational environment and contributes to strengthening graduates’ adaptive potential.
Scientific novelty. The study substantiates the need to integrate the model of seamless education with a transprofessional approach to workforce training aimed at developing universal and adaptive competencies.
Practical significance. The results of the study may be used in the development of educational policies and modernization programs aimed at ensuring continuity between educational levels and fostering the development of transprofessional competencies among students.
