Abstract

Main ways of remodeling the contemporary system of professional education in terms of its effectiveness are considered in the article. In addition, not only a solution to the problem of evaluating the effectiveness of professional education is suggested but also the analysis of the current situation and steps taken for raising its efficiency are proposed. The main reason of a decrease in the effectiveness of professional education is the destruction of interconnection between the manufacture and education. As a consequence, we are facing a low level of youngsters employment and a lack of qualified specialists in the companies. Branch-wise, corporate and applied education might become possible steps to overcome the crisis. Despite the underlying perspectives of these streamlines, the author needs to point out undeniable weaknesses of these projects that concern more personal-oriented questions of how a student should determine whether education is effective, but not a problem of employment or providing a company with qualified personnel. The necessity of building a special department based on the institutes of higher education is grounded on the need to employ graduates, provide companies with specialists, consolidate the efforts of small and medium-sized enterprises and defining what is meant by self-actualization in terms of personal and professional point of views - it results in raising the effectiveness of professional education. The article was prepared with support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the project-grant by the Regional Fund of Science Developing a system model of efficiency indicators of educational programs for the Bachelor degree.
