Abstract

Almost all ongoing reforms and transformations that take place in the sphere of the secondary vocational education system in one way or another happen due to the necessity to improve the training of a future specialist - a competitive graduate of a professional educational organization, who is able to meet the requirements of the labor market and employers, and therefore participate in social economic development of the country. To create a competitive specialist it is necessary to use the potential of the digital educational environment of a professional educational organization, since such educational bodies have a special mission – to prepare a graduate with the necessary set of professional and extraprofessional skills. Such specialist should be ready to continue education in a high-tech information society because they know how to form new necessary competencies, able to grow their new professional skills and qualities in changing conditions of professional activity, and know how to take an advantage of a digital educational environment. In the course of a theoretical analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature and positive pedagogical experience we analyzed the essence and structure of competitiveness and the digital educational environment, necessary for conducting diagnostic procedures and confirming the correctness of the hypothesis. The article substantiates the pedagogical conditions for increasing the graduate’s competitiveness by means of the digital educational environment: the interaction of subjects of educational relations is mediated by high-tech means of informatization that meet the modern needs of the training system for future specialists.
