THE NEED OF TRANSFORMING THE APPROACHES TO HIGHLY SKILLED WORKERS’ TRAINING

Abstract

The paper reveals the need to transform the approaches to highly skilled workers’ training and proposes new guidelines for achieving this. The evaluation criteria are the level of qualification, professional mobility, working experience, knowledge of related professions (specialties) and the level of professional development. The main feature of qualification is learning abilities. The author proposes a new “capable of learning” - “incapable of learning” classification of citizens who are willing (or forced) to get a working profession, which is based on their ability to learn. The notion of a «learning criterion of a production worker» has been formulated. The necessity of developing specific training modules for “capable of learning” students and “incapable of learning” students and industrial workers is substantiated.
