The article actualizes the potential of stratification and activity approaches, the theory of multiplicity of professionalization, and multidimensional analysis. The cognitive scheme proposed in the article is based on the identification of three stages of professional development of youth: professional self-determination, professional education and professional adaptation. The prospects for its use in studying the problem of managing professional youth mobility are seen in the formation of an effective strategy for managing this process, taking into account the effective professionalization of youth at each of the selected stages, taking into account the factor of multiple professionalization as the most vividly characterizing modern adaptation practices in the professional labor market.
