The authors formulate the goals and tasks of the project and specific features of the “green” digital economy, perform an overview of the existing directions in the educational process, and substantiate the creative directions of digitization of education. Lifelong learning, remote, and online learning are considered in detail. Recommendations for improvement of the process of personnel training for the digital economy are offered. Pursuant to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated May 7, 2018, No. 204 “Regarding national goals and strategic tasks of development of the Russian Federation until 2024” [1], the Council for strategic development and national projects with the President of the Russian Federation adopted the passport of the national program “Digital economy of the Russian Federation” [2], which includes six federal projects: Normative regulation of the digital environment; Information security; Information infrastructure; Digital technologies; Personnel for the digital economy; Digital state management. The period of the program is 2018–2024 [3]. Here we dwell only on the federal project “Personnel for the digital economy”. 82 organizations participated in preparation of the project—from federal ministries and state corporations to commercial structures (Rosatom, Rostelekom, Sberbank, Krok, Yandex, etc.), and educational and public organizations. The government committee on usage of information technologies for improvement of quality of life and terms of entrepreneurial activities adopted the plan of measures for “Personnel and education” of the program “Digital economy of the Russian Federation”. The measures of this plan are aimed at implementing a range of the key directions of development of the system of education: update of contents, creation of necessary modern infrastructure, training of personnel for the work in the system, their advanced training, and creation of the most effective mechanism of the sphere management. These key directions could be specified by grouping separate measures into goals or tasks, which should have quantitative, qualitative, and time characteristics [4].
