Social work as a sphere of professional activity had formed in Europe by the middle of the XX century, but the experience accumulated in different countries did not result in uniform standard for the social welfare work and professional training. In Russia, social and welfare training is a relatively new training programme (since 1991), which needs to be substantially detailed by theoretical experience and practical recommendations from colleagues from around the world. In these conditions, academic mobility provides an opportunity to enrich the modern system of qualified social and welfare personnel training and expand our understanding of the structure of foreign professional education, as well as technologies, approaches and forms of student training. The authors show that various aspects of student social and welfare professional training are in the focus of domestic and foreign academic interest; two main sources of this problem are identified. The article dwells on the practical experience the students and teachers of Nizhnevartovsk State University and Aabenraa University College South Denmark accumulated through academic exchange. Regulations and statistical data analysis, observations, interviews, discussions and seminars helped to provide the necessary insight into the system of social and welfare training in Denmark. Research material may be of interest to students of Social Work programmes when studying such subjects as ‘Foreign Experience of Social Work’, ‘Social Education Fundamentals’; to teachers when developing bachelor training curriculum; to specialists of institutions when organizing student practical training.

The article presents the results of a study on the employment of graduates of the first in the Russian Federation department of personnel management at the State University of Management (Moscow). A survey of former students showed that most of the respondents work in their specialty in organizations of various forms of ownership and areas of the economy. The positions of graduates and the job responsibilities performed by them reflect the whole range of professional activities of HR specialists, starting from the general management of personnel of specific organizations and ending with narrowly targeted posts. At the same time, respondents, as professionals, were identified the “weaknesses” of their training at the university, which were mostly related to the limited practical orientation of training, namely, the formation of competencies in the use of relevant personnel management tools. The questionnaire also revealed the variability of the professional interests of graduates, reflecting modern HR trends. The practical focus of the study lies in the possibility of studying the real state of personnel management practice through the professional experience of graduates; as a resource for scientific, educational, methodological and educational purposes for improving the educational process of the department; for the organization of career guidance work among students studying at the department and the formation of their professional culture; to develop a community of teachers, graduates and students of the department through the development of trusting mutually beneficial relationships.

The assessment of the manifestations of students' social activity was carried out on the basis of a survey, expert assessments and observation. The sample consisted of 200 respondents: 48 males and 152 females aged 18 to 22, the 2nd year students in pedagogical programs at Yelets State University named after I.A. Bunin.

Only 2% of respondents consider social activities useless and unpopular. The leading motives of students' participation in public life were determined: awareness of their pertinence (72%), satisfaction with the benefits brought (66%), additional opportunity for professional growth (55%), meeting interesting people (54%). Methodological recommendations for the development of social activity of students in the university are proposed, aimed at creating and implementing organizational and pedagogical conditions that determine the environment for the development of social activity of future teachers.

The world of work is changing rapidly, with an increasing global demand for employees with higher-level skills. Employees need to have the right attitudes and aptitudes for work, possess work-relevant skills, and have relevant experience. Whilst universities are embedding employability into their curricula, partnerships outside of the taught curriculum provide additional, largely untapped, opportunities for students to develop these key skills and gain valuable work experience. Two extracurricular partnership opportunities were created for Bioscience undergraduates at the University of Leeds, UK: an educational research internships scheme, where students work in partnership with fellow students and academic staff on on-going educational projects, and Pop-Up Science, a unique, student-led public engagement volunteer scheme. Both schemes generate substantial benefits for all. They enhance student’s skills and employability, facilitate and enhance staff-student education practices and research, and engage the public with research in the Biosciences. Collectively, they demonstrate the extraordinary value and benefits accrued from developing extracurricular partnerships between students, staff, and the community.
