Features and main forms of interaction between higher education institutions and the labour market

Abstract

The success of the modernisation of higher education in Ukraine largely depends on the accuracy of the strategic vision of its opportunities, prospects and threats in the context of our complex present. This vision is presented in the Strategy for the Development of Higher Education in Ukraine for 2022–2032 [2], in which the main directions are outlined based on the current stage of development of society and the state economy. This semantic emphasis articulates the interconnection and interdependence of social and economic factors in the reform of the education sector and highlights the importance of higher education as the foundation for building a knowledge economy and a pool of highly qualified personnel for all areas of state building. Given the importance of this social mission, the issue of building the institutional capacity of higher education institutions (HEIs) by expanding their institutional autonomy and strengthening their interaction with the labour market in the professional training of specialists is becoming increasingly relevant. The aim is to ensure that HEI graduates meet the requirements of potential employers and develop the professional qualities and micro-skills that are most in demand in the modern labour market.
