The purpose of the presented studies is to summarize the world experience in the development of promising requirements for the skills and competence of managers and specialists of national meteorological services in the interests of forming a system of requirements for staffing and training of managers and specialists of hydrometeorological services of the Roshydromet system.Methodology and methods of the study. The methodological base of the research consists of well-known scientific works devoted to the promising requirements for the skills and competencies of managers and specialists of the hydrometeorological service. Results. The novelty of the obtained results lies in the fact that, based on the generalization of world experience in the development of promising requirements for the skills and competence of managers and specialists of national hydrometeorological services, it was found that when forming personnel management strategies, on the one hand, requirements are put forward for a wide range of competencies of personnel who own both traditional technologies and innovative technologies for processing and interpreting information based on IT.

The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of using world experience in developing promising requirements for the skills and competence of managers and specialists of national meteorological services when forming strategies for personnel management of hydrometeorological structures of the Roshydromet system.
