Abstract

The uneven socio-economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation has a significant impact on the modernization of secondary vocational education and vocational training. There is a significant reduction in the number of graduates in the programs of training skilled workers in vocational education and training and the flow of this contingent into the vocational training sector. The number of SPO graduates who are employed in the received specialties and professions rarely reaches fifty percent. Labor migration of vocational graduates to more developed regions is steadily increasing. The amount of funding for vocational education programs depends on regional budgets, which leads to a significant territorial differentiation of investments in the human capital of students, as well as the material and technical base of educational organizations and their personnel. Fifty percent of the output of skilled worker training programs is concentrated within the 10 most sought-after professions. A similar situation develops in the training of mid-level specialists, where half of the graduates concentrate within 16 specialties. These and many other facts indicate a significant discrepancy between the results of personnel training in regional vocational education systems to the demands of labor markets, a decrease in the quality of education in vocational education, and the need to take targeted measures to improve the effectiveness of this level of vocational education as a source of staffing for the economies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the preprint is to present the results of the analysis of the conditions for the formation of sustainable forms of public-private partnership in the system of secondary vocational education. The results of the study can be applied in the formation of secondary vocational education and training programs based on digital technologies; the creation of systems of personnel support for vocational education and training, depending on the socio-economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
