Abstract
Changes in the social and economic life of society, an understanding of the forces currently at play require changes in the fields of education philosophy, education technology education curriculum and design for education at all levels. There is a need in transformation and redefining curriculum agendas for educational institutions related to the training of qualified, competitive, professionally mobile staff, who are ready to design and implement the activities of coal mining enterprises. Kemerovo region is one of the most important regions of the country for coal mining and metallurgy development, which almost completely supplies the entire country with coal. Training of personnel for the coal mining industry assumes increasing importance and orientation necessary for the future of the country. Our research has shown that the structure of young people’s self-awareness, their personal life and professional intentions are changing. It is necessary that young people should be ready for making independent decisions in choosing a profession required in the region. The socio- economic development of the region is characterized by the emergence of various innovations in the system of vocational, occupational and human resources management training for the coal mining industry. Based on the results of our research we consider it necessary to create clusters aimed at integrating and concentrating the activities of educational organizations, scientific institutions, supplementary education organizations, industrial enterprises that are located on the same territory, in the same region, in order to prepare qualified personnel for the coal mining industry of the region.
Highlights
Education and technology clusters of the coal mining industry have a special role to play in the modernization of the vocational education system, because it is in the context of the clusters that the system of interaction of all the actors of coal mining industry and its social partners is implemented under the real conditions of the region
Training under the close collaboration of GSEI with VTEI and HE and social partners becomes more effective if such interaction takes place within a certain institutional framework, namely, the education and technology cluster, which ensures a real convergence of the interests of general educational organizations with the social sphere in the training of personnel needed for the mining industry in the region
The Education and Technology Cluster that provides training for the coal mining industry is, in our opinion, a tool of innovative development based on interaction of educational institutions and coal industry enterprises in the training of personnel needed for their own development
Summary
Education and technology clusters of the coal mining industry have a special role to play in the modernization of the vocational education system, because it is in the context of the clusters that the system of interaction of all the actors of coal mining industry and its social partners is implemented under the real conditions of the region This interaction makes it possible to deal effectively with the issues of personnel training for the coal industry and, as our study has shown, this process should begin not with vocational and higher education institutions, but with the organizations of general secondary education. A special role in the system of advanced professional training for industrial coal mining enterprises is played by institutions of general secondary education (hereinafter referred to as GSEI), professional educational organizations (hereinafter VTEI), higher education (hereinafter HE) which currently do not fully meet the challenges of dynamically changing labor market requirements for a number of reasons, among which we have highlighted the following: - the lack of understanding by industrial enterprises of coal mining organizations the major ways in which the built environment of education is transforming in response to various globalized policy drivers, computerization, and new education delivery technologies which require a fundamental rethinking of the mission, tasks and responsibility of educational organizations to young people and to the state; - the lack of a clear understanding among the GSEI, VTEI and HE teams the mechanisms of interaction between educational organizations and social partners in solving the problems of training and retraining personnel for coal mining, in particular, in organizing joint work on mutually beneficial concepts of modernizing career guidance with a focus on the requirements of modern economy and taking into account the prospects for the development of society; the organization of effective practice in the conditions of real production and further training for work at the enterprises of the coal industry; - the absence of this type of activity increases the issue of vocational guidance for graduates of GSEI, VTEI and HE, which inevitably arises in the context of objective changes in the structure of training specialists for the region, etc.; - socio-economic situation in the region, when professional organizations of general secondary, professional and higher education, opened in the XX century to meet the needs of certain economic institutions and industrial enterprises, have lost their relevance, either due to the closure or re-profiling of these institutions, or due to material and technical discrepancy with the new requirements of the economy and production, etc..
