Abstract
The article raises the problem of the level of satisfaction with educational services among the students of agricultural training areas of secondary vocational education institutions of the Samara region. The study goal is addressed through several objectives including identifying the level of students’ satisfaction with the quality of education, their attitude towards industry internship, the level of satisfaction with the quality of material and technical support, and the presence or absence of the desire for employment in the chosen direction of training. The research method deployed in the study is surveying (N = 123). The study reveals that most respondents (73.7%) are completely or rather satisfied with the quality of education. The calculations indicate that most respondents have a positive or rather positive attitude towards industry internship (70.8%). 89.4% of respondents are completely or rather satisfied with the quality of material and technical support. 84.5% of the respondents are completely or rather satisfied with the quality of educational services while 9.6% found it difficult to answer and 5.7% express dissatisfaction with the quality of educational services to varying degrees. Considering individual educational institutions, the results by the indicator are as follows: the Bezenchuk Agrarian Technical College – 80.8%, the Kinel State Technical College – 91.1%. Due to the lack of data on secondary educational institutions, the obtained results are compared to similar studies conducted in Russian higher education institutions. As a result, the authors report a paradoxical situation consisting in the fact that the students are satisfied with educational services but not all of them plan to continue working in the chosen direction of professional training. Appropriate recommendations are provided for the management of educational institutions in accordance with the obtained results.

Summary
In modern Russian society, the state pays considerable attention to the educational programs whose graduates’ potential employment constructs the real sector of the economy. A paradoxical situation is observed in several areas of training in secondary vocational education due to the fact that the state provides the opportunity to obtain secondary vocational education for free to provide the labor market with personnel for this industry, the country’s agriculture is experiencing a shortage of personnel, primarily in bluecollar occupations. The relevance of the study is shaped by the following aspects. The existing regulatory framework requires an independent assessment of the quality of education. A shortage of personnel is observed in working professions in the field of agriculture. There appears to be a need for sociological and pedagogical understanding of the processes taking place in secondary vocational education institutions
