THE STATE OF ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AT THE PRESENT STAGE

Abstract

The task of ensuring the competencies of specialists to the requirements of the labor market is solved by means of postgraduate education: either by advanced training or professional retraining. Both researchers and practitioners prefer to improve the skills of specialists by taking a special short-term course, which is implemented in different formats (full-time, part-time and distance learning), as well as using modern educational technologies. The paper deals with the organization of training in the system of professional retraining and the creation of an educational product that includes a number of stages, namely: a program development, a review, an introduction into the educational process, a placement on the platform of a university, publication of materials and others. The result of this huge amount of work is the attention from both employers, individual trainees and teachers, expressed in the emergence of a significant number of additional education centers offering educational services in this direction.
