New competencies are required, which are now acquired mainly directly during work and independently. All this makes it necessary to improve the approaches to the implementation of additional education. The concept of transformation of the model of additional education proposed in the article contains the following basic requirements for the implementation of programs: the need for quality basic education as the foundation for the construction of various additional programs; availability of a wider range of additional education programs, not only after graduating, but also during and after school; the expansion of training programs offered through online platforms; development of network forms and peerto-peer training; the need for close cooperation with professional communities, building an additional education system to meet the requirements and needs of the business.Conclusion.The concept of transformation of the model of additional education proposed in the article is based on the use of modern information and communication technologies and the creation of an educational environment that assumes the active interaction of all participants in the educational process (including employers). The transformation of the educational environment involves the solution of practical tasks for the rapid development and updating of the relevant curricula; automatic construction of courses on the basis of the repository of educational objects under the competence, which are in demand and formed by the business environment; certification of various levels, confirming the acquisition of knowledge in a particular area, not only in accordance with the approved professional standards, but also in the field of continuing professional education; monitoring the demand for programs based on adaptive testing.
