Abstract

This article, for the first time in domestic practice, explores the application of additional regulation of professional activity in Ukraine and EU member states. The following tasks were carried out: studying international and European approaches to the employment of regulated professions by employers and educational service providers; comparing the domestic system of professional activity regulation; reviewing relevant domestic publications; analyzing legislative and regulatory acts of a regulatory nature; proposing the typification of regulated professions and professional qualifications in Ukraine for the first time; and identifying the primary shortcomings of the Ukrainian system of professional activity regulation. During the research, the methods of monographic, systematic analysis, and comparative were used. The results indicate that domestic authors tend to concentrate their specialized research on the study of foreign education while paying little attention to relevant domestic practices. Among the author's key findings is the lack of a unified, legally established framework for defining and implementing regulations for professional activities in the country. Comparing the recognition of professional qualifications in regulated professions is challenging due to differences in recognition procedures, volumes, tools, terms, and content. The lack of a national registry of regulated professions and qualifications also poses difficulties for stakeholders and foreign partners. This is particularly important when it comes to recognizing the professional qualifications of war refugees in host countries. In Ukraine, professions and qualifications are typically regulated using a departmental and sectoral approach. This approach involves preparing, externally assessing, recognizing, and practically implementing over 400 regulated professions, job titles, and positions, as well as full and partial professional qualifications associated with them. The National Qualifications Agency is not responsible for creating a register of regulated professions/qualifications. It also does not fully form the register of qualifications as a whole, focusing exclusively on including only professional qualifications defined in professional standards, the number of which is insignificant and does not exceed three hundred, etc.
