At university, career guidance work is an integral part of continuous professional development of a future specialist. It covers pre-university education, higher professional education, and employment assistance. The present research featured the career guidance work conducted at the Transbaikal State University.

The paper examines the phenomenon of profes-sional identity as a tool for intensifying labor capital. Professional identity implies the orientation of an individual to the constant development of profes-sional qualities, which over time provides the econ-omy with highly qualified personnel. However, in modern Russian realities, many factors complicate the formation of professional identity, including those at the stage of acquiring higher professional education. The results of the sociological study of the state of professional identity of university stu-dents in Ufa revealed some problems in the for-mation of ideas about the profession (specialty) and the motivation for its choice. So, at the time of enter-ing a university, young people often have a superfi-cial idea of the chosen specialty, they do not have a process of professional determination. The motiva-tion for the professional choice of students is equal-ly rational and irrational, with every fourth student choosing a specialty under the influence of random factors. The study also showed that the role of the institution of secondary general education in the process of professional self-determination is not of prevailing importance, while in developed countries the school is the primary element of the vocational guidance system. Based on the analysis of the data presented, it is necessary to make managerial deci-sions in the field of career guidance in Russia, and measures of career guidance work with students at school are proposed.

The educational program «Management in Tourism and Hospitality» implemented at the Federal State-Funded Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education «Russian State University of Tourism and Service» is constructed in such a way that the primary emphasis is placed upon the management processes in the organizations. That said, a number of the competences containing the requirements as to the training for professional activities in the bodies of state and municipal administration (in particular, in tourist administrations) may be insufficiently mastered by the graduates. For example, the competences related to the organization and regulation of service activities. As far as is known, in the current context the service component in a tourist product is the important factor affecting its competitiveness. The introduction of discipline «Service Quality and Design» into the curriculum will allow to change to some extent the current situation. This discipline will help students to acquire expertise, knowledge and skills regarding the existing concepts of service activities; the methods of service activities organization in tourism and hospitality; the service management and its role in the improving competitiveness of a tourist product, tourism organization and tourist destination as a whole.

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.

Research on the development and self-realization of human personality is based on the perception of humans as philosophical beings. The question surrounding the „human being“ has become a question about the survival of humanity. In research centres in Europe, the USA, Canada, China, Australia the balance between biological, psyological and social components in human development is becoming an evermore active research focus. A research group from the Academy for Teacher Education and Educatioanl Administration Riga and the State University Smolensk (Russia) analyzed the professional identity of post-sendary teachers from two cultures with the aim of analyzing the nature of the professional identity of pedagogues and to determine a research methodology. Methodology in pedagogy involves teaching about the untiy of theory and research methods. The structure of scientific methodology is composed of four levels: 1) general theoretical, philosophical, methodological principles and approaches; 2) general pedagogical methodological principles; 3) regularities and principles of the sub-field of pedagogy; 4) principles of selection and use of research methodologies for a specific theme, based on empirical data. The methodological sources of this research are theoretical literature, dissertations in pedagogy as well as individual experiences of pedagogical and scientific activities. The research results show that the professional activity of post-secondary teachers and the quality of societal development influence and connect with each other.
