Abstract

The paper is devoted to the consideration of the stages of development of training the specialists in the food and processing industry in vocational schools of the second half of the XX - beginning of the XXI century. In this paper there are considered the peculiarities of the development of the food and processing industry in the postwar years in Ukraine, in particular in the western regions, during the period of industrialization, when the agenda was solving problems in the field of education, health care. The food industry of the western regions in that period was represented by sugar industry, meat - processing, dairy, fruit and vegetable, baking, flour-grinding, confectionery industries. The sugar industry, which worked on local raw materials, was especially actively developed. Industrialization in the western regions of Ukraine in the postwar period had its own peculiarities. First, there are recorded faster rates of industrial growth than in other regions of Ukraine. Secondly, new industries appeared. In the region, the most intensive production was observed. The limited number of vocational training units for educating qualified mid-level specialists prevented the development of the food industry. In this regard, the advanced representatives of the local scientific and technological elite began to take measures to start vocational schools. The establishment of educational institutions oriented at the training the specialists of the food industry in Ukraine is inextricably linked with the development of the sugar industry. Vocational education of Ukraine is directly related to the socio-economic development of the state. Based on the main stages of economic development in the state, changes in vocational education have been analyzed. The periodization of the history of the professional training of future specialists in the food and processing industry in vocational schools of the western regions of Ukraine (second half of the XX century – the beginning of the XXI century) was accomplished, and the main directions of changes for each period are considered.
