PREPARATION OF STUDENTS OF AN AGRARIAN UNIVERSITY TO OVERCOME BARRIERS IN BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS IN THE SPHERE OF PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES

Abstract

The article examines the current topic of preparing students of an agricultural university to overcome barriers in business communications. The idea is substantiated that training students in this direction can ensure their relevance and competitiveness in the labor market. The article analyzes concepts of the theory of vocational training and the theory of communication. The author came to the conclusion that in the educational programs of the university in all specialties there are no specific disciplines that allow teaching students to overcome barriers to business communications. The study shows that overcoming communication barriers among students is at a low level, and additional theoretical knowledge and practical skills in this area of activity are required. This necessitated the develop- ment of a methodology for overcoming barriers to business communications in the field of professional activity, including conducting psychotechnics, psychological trainings and business games with respondents. Comparison of the results of the test with the initial state of overcoming barriers to business communications showed a positive trend.
