The role of the employer in the training of qualified personnel on the basis of industry (inter-industry) agreements

The article considers a set of issues related to the role of employers and the importance of their activities as one of the parties of social partnership in the training of qualified personnel on the basis of sectoral (intersectoral) relations. When analyzing the use of forms of social partnership at its various levels in the regulation of social and labor relations, attention is paid to the social approach to such regulation, indicating the need to protect the interests and needs of the employee’s personality. The levels of social partnership are highlighted, at which various agreements can be concluded, differing in their content and order of adoption, scope of action. Among all agreements, a special place in their significance in the country’s economy, taking into account the content and scope of action, is occupied by sectoral agreements concluded at the sectoral level in various sectors of the economy, establishing the basis for regulating labor relations in a particular industry. When establishing the foundations for regulating labor relations in two or more sectors of the country’s economy, intersectoral agreements are concluded both at the federal level and at the regional level, or on a certain municipal territory. The formation of Russian legislation on social partnership, collective agreements has its own history, during which the regulatory legal framework laid down in the early years of Soviet power and during the NEP period was improved. The resumption at the end of the 20th century of collective-contractual regulation of relations in the sphere of labor law on a fundamentally new legal basis made it possible to further increase the role and importance of acts of social partnership of an industry (intersectoral) nature. An analysis of the provisions of a number of sectoral (intersectoral) agreements on the role of employers in the training of qualified personnel showed the presence of a significant amount of their powers in the agreements of the off-budget sector of the economy. In turn, in budgetary organizations, the employer’s activity in this direction, limited by budget allocations, often comes down to the need to act within their strict limits, in the absence of the possibility of establishing additional benefits and guarantees for employees compared to those established centrally.

Моделювання впливу факторів цифровізації на економічний розвиток країн світу

The article determines that digitalization as a trend in the development of the global economy manifests itself to different degrees, although the place of each country in the world community depends on the degree of impact of digitalization on the national economic and social environment. Studies of the impact of digitalization on the development of countries’ economies are extremely relevant, as digital technologies are becoming a central element of modern economic development, affecting the productivity, efficiency and competitiveness of countries at the global level. The aim of the article is to build a model of the impact of digitalization factors on the economic development of the countries of the world using the cognitive approach. For this purpose, an appropriate methodical approach has been proposed and its approbation has been carried out. The world ranking indices for assessing the level of digitalization were used as indicators of digitalization, and the indicators of the development of the economies of the world countries were used the indicators characterizing GDP, gross value added, employment, production and trade in goods and services of ICT and computer communications. The World Bank’s World Development Indicators were used as a statistical information base. On the basis of the developed methodical approach, a cognitive model of the impact of digitalization factors on the economic development of the world countries has been built, the ties between the factors have been analyzed and conclusions have been drawn about the interdependencies between them. It is determined that an effective strategy for managing digitalization processes to increase the development of the country’s economy should include the development of innovative potential through the support of research and innovative start-ups, the expansion of digital infrastructure, especially in the field of telecommunications and mobile connectivity, increasing readiness for the introduction of new technologies through educational programs and training of qualified personnel, and the development of e-governance to ensure broad access to digital public services. Such measures will contribute to increasing productivity and growth of added value in production and services, which will lead to GDP growth, ensuring sustainable economic growth and quality of life of the country’s population.

Each of these areas is considered in detail, and their importance for creating favourable conditions for the training of specialists in the field of social entrepreneurship is substantiated. The research is based on the analysis of literary sources, comparative analysis, induction, and analysis of statistical data. The necessity of a systematic approach to the public administration of educational trajectories of social entrepreneurship is substantiated, which involves the harmonisation of the efforts of state authorities and local self-government, a clear delineation of their powers and responsibilities, as well as the coordination of actions of various departments and institutions at all levels. The study aims to contribute to the formation of an effective ecosystem for the development of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine through the development of educational infrastructure and the training of qualified personnel using strategic approaches of public authorities. Particular attention is paid to the role of education as a key tool for the dissemination of ideas of social entrepreneurship and the formation of the necessary competencies. Mechanisms of public-private partnerships are considered to ensure effective interaction between public authorities, educational institutions, businesses, and non-governmental organisations. The need to establish specialised educational training centres and incubators for social entrepreneurship is emphasised. The article outlines the prospects for the implementation of the proposed strategic approaches and their potential impact on the development of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine.

ПРОБЛЕМЫ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ КЛАСТЕРНОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ В ПРОМЫШЛЕННОМ СЕКТОРЕ ЭКОНОМИКИ РОССИИ

The study is devoted to the problems of implementing cluster policy at Russian industrial enterprises in modern unstable conditions. In particular, such problems of cluster policy implementation as the problem of insufficient financing of industrial clusters, difficulties in attracting private capital, limited deadlines set for reporting industrial cluster participants on the use of public funds for financing; the problem of imperfection of the regulatory framework for regulating cluster policy in industry are considered in detail; problems of infrastructure development of industrial clusters. Within the industrial clusters themselves, problems such as the lack of qualified personnel for cluster development, as well as the uneven distribution of benefits among cluster participants, generating distrust between them, were noted. All the identified problems often contribute to the collapse of the cluster in the short term. The article also presents possible solutions to these problems. For the successful implementation of cluster policy, an integrated approach is needed, involving the improvement of legislation, stimulating investment in clusters, infrastructure development and training of qualified personnel, which will maximize the potential of the cluster model of economic development. Taking into account the proposed recommendations can significantly reduce the risks associated with government financing of industrial clusters and partnerships within the cluster, and ensure their sustainable development.

Непрерывное образование как условие повышения эффективности контроля (надзора) на транспорте в условиях санкций

The subject of the study is the regulation of the training of officials engaged in control and supervisory activities in transport in the context of the imposition of sanctions against Russia by unfriendly states. The purpose of the work is to identify problems that hinder the organization of effective control (supervision) in transport to ensure the safety of the functioning of the transport complex based on a critical analysis of the organizational and legal foundations of the current training procedure for state civil servants of Rostransnadzor. It is noted in the work that changes in legislation are predetermined by the need to train qualified personnel, which implies guaranteed provision of the transport system with qualified personnel for its stable, safe and uninterrupted operation in conditions of reorientation of transport and logistics chains; import substitution of critically important products and components; changes in the powers of supervisory and control bodies, etc. Based on the results of the study of these problems, it was concluded that the training of qualified personnel should be considered as an essential component of the security system of the transport complex and an indispensable condition for the effective and sustainable functioning of the transport system. The use of tools of linguistic-semiotic, formal-dogmatic and systemic-legal approaches will help to solve the tasks assigned to the Russian transport system for the provision of transport services.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN IMPLEMENTATION OF DUAL EDUCATION

The article explores the relevance of implementing international experience in dual education into the practice of domestic higher education institutions. The study is focused on the importance of training future bachelors in the field of construction and welding within the dual form of education. The purpose of the article is to consider models of dual education in European countries and opportunities for their implementation into the Ukrainian higher education system. The research operates comparative and retrospective analysis, methods of analogy, systematization and conceptualization of best practices in the introduction of dual education. The analysis of the international experience in the functioning of dual education models made it possible to identify the most promising directions of integration of the domestic education system, the labour market and production into the European educational system. It has been established that the implementation of a dual form of higher education contributes to adaptation to international standards and the exchange of advanced methods in the training of qualified personnel, which contributes to the improvement of pedagogical practices. The analysis of the research allowed us to recognize the essential features of the dual education system, which includes simultaneous education in an educational institution and practical experience at work. This is the interaction of theory with practice making it possible for students to acquire not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills. It has been found out that in the European educational space, various terms are used to denote the concept of dual education, such as “alternation training”, “work-based learning”, “work-integrated learning” and others. All of them indicate a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Dual learning is defined by the European Center for the Development of Vocational Education as a process of acquiring knowledge and skills through practical tasks and reflection. The European Commission distinguishes three models of dual learning such as apprenticeship, periodic training in the company and integrated training. The UNESCO International Standard Qualification describes the dual system as an organized learning process combining part-time work in production with studies in traditional vocational schools and universities. A conducted comparative analysis of different dual systems in European countries (Austria, Germany, France, Switzerland, and Romania) indicated a variety of configurations covering such substantive aspects as legislation, management, competent authorities, employer representatives, subsidies, intermediate organizations, vocational and higher education, and education costs. Depending on the country, the dual system may have integrated or separate legislation, unified or separate administration, state or economic competent authorities, different share of social partners or professional associations, etc. Different approaches to the financing of the dual system and the presence or absence of intermediate organizations facilitating the interaction between the state and the economy have been revealed. The factors of economic benefit or loss for companies participating in the dual system, which affects gross costs and profitability of companies, have been highlighted. Two leading types of dual systems have been identified. The first one is the system which is united with state participation and coordinated, and the second one is separated, where regulation is mainly carried out by economic representatives. Based on the results of the comparative analysis, the diversity of approaches has been singled out and the factors influencing the success of dual systems in different contexts have been identified. There have been made conclusions regarding the advantages of the dual system of education and the features of the implementation of international experience into the professional education system of Ukraine.

THE EDUCATION PATHWAY FOR NURSES IN MONTENEGRO

Nursing education in Montenegro has a relatively long tradition. Due to the great need for medical personnel in Montenegro, in 1946, a school for paramedics, caretakers, and nurses was opened in Cetinje, located in the facilities of the former Girls’ Institute. Since the establishment of the first school, there have been several reforms in nursing education. In Montenegro, nursing practice begins after the completion of nine years of general education. At both the secondary and higher education levels, there are two types of nursing education. After completing four years of secondary school, one can obtain the title of health technician. The educational program for the health technician was developed in accordance with occupational standards for pediatric and medical nursing. The development of a modular educational program for Health Technicians is currently underway. The Health Technician curriculum is based on occupational standards for various fields, including Health Technician for hospital work, Health Technician for primary healthcare institutions, Health Technician for preschool institutions, and Health Technician for geriatric and palliative care institutions. A person can acquire the title of nurse by completing a three-year higher education program, consisting of applied basic studies (bachelor’s degree). In addition to the basic studies, there are also one-year postgraduate applied specialist studies in healthcare and two-year Master’s studies in healthcare. In 2017, following the reaccreditation of the Faculty of Medicine in Podgorica, a study model was designed based on the 3+2 principle. This nursing education program, in alignment with European directives, enables the training of qualified personnel to provide healthcare services. Graduates of this program will have degrees recognized outside the borders of Montenegro.

Тенденции включения детей с РАС в систему общего образования: результаты Всероссийского мониторинга

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objectives. </strong>To ensure the accessibility of education, taking into account the specific features of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), a systematic approach to the creation of special conditions based on the analysis of objective indicators of the inclusion of children with ASD in the general education environment is necessary. The trends of inclusion of children with ASD in the general education system have been identified on the basis of the results of the All-Russia monitoring in 2022.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods. </strong>Monitoring included statistical data collection, processing and analysis. A structured statistical form with a list of the main criteria and conditions necessary for the organisation of education for children with ASD was developed for data collection. The data were provided by the executive authorities of 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation that carry out state management in the sphere of education.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Results. </strong>The total number of students with ASD in 2022, as compared to 2021, increased by 17 per cent and totalled 45888 people. The share of children receiving education at different levels in the total number of children with ASD included in the education system is as follows: at the level of early help — 2.1 per cent; preschool education — 28 per cent; primary, basic and secondary general education — 68.5 per cent; secondary and higher vocational education — 1.5 per cent. In 56 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, 64 regional resource centres have been established to provide support for families raising children with ASD and to train specialists working with children and families.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conclusions. </strong>The annual intensive growth of the number of children with ASD in the Russian education system testifies to the accessibility of education and causes high requirements to the system of education of students in educational organisations in accordance with the current legislation. The increase in the share of pupils with ASD receiving inclusive education and the decrease in the share of children studying individually at home indicates the expansion of opportunities for their inclusion in the general education system. In order to improve the quality of education for children with ASD, it is necessary to introduce into the work of educational organisations the Federal Adapted Educational Programmes for students with disabilities at all levels of education, as well as to train qualified personnel.</p>
