Every university graduate faces a problem of employment. A young specialist without work experience can hardly find a job by his/her specialization, which would allow them not only to use the acquired knowledge but also to get an adequate estimation of their efforts. Today Russian universities adopt the overseas experience in career promotion by helping graduates in their career planning, as today's higher education institutions in Russia are extremely interested in graduate's career development and at the same time in successful functioning of the university in general. The article grounds the necessity to set up Employment and Career Centers at universities, whose organizational and economic characteristics and trends of development can give an opportunity to accumulate and allocate the best practices of graduates' career planning and technical and technological support of interaction with business partners for different categories of graduates. Here a young specialist can find consultations of career experts, help in compiling a competitive CV and assistance in searching for a suitable vacancy. At the same time the Employment and Career Center at the university can carry out an important function of informing university employees about the necessity and importance of graduates' career planning and stimulating graduates' interest in self-organization and professional self-development.

This article deals with the urgent problem of teacher’s professional self-development at a higher educational institution, based on normative and acmeological aspects. In the process of achieving this goal – which is the study of the peculiarities of professional self-development in the terms of Ukrainian higher education in its cultural and historical context – the analysis of such problems, as the transformation of forms of consciousness into educational interactions; professional archetype of a teacher; the transformation of the content of professional self-development, was conducted. The given problem has practical meaning. It means that there are a number of objective factors, which influence the essence of a teacher's professional self-development, as a process, connected with the concept of lifelong education, and turn it into a component of the creation of professional identity. We came to the following conclusions: firstly, concerning the dual nature of professional and personal identity (real and imaginary, virtual), which is objectified in the cultural and educational space of the university; secondly, studying the peculiarities of the teacher's self-development,special attention should be paid to appropriate archetypes as culturally conditioned generalized patterns; thirdly, a change in the type of teacher’s professional self-development is caused by both the transformation of the character of the person’s identity and the change of archetype

The author shares her own practical ideas of how to set up monitoring system to assess and correct the students� readiness for continuous professional education. Theoretical basics of such monitoring system and details of its establishment in higher educational institutions are defined. Among the main features of monitoring system are highlighted: the object, the subject, goals, main requirements and informational framework. Conceptually monitoring is based on the model of higher educational institution graduate, where the graduate continues his professional education. It is accepted that the model has value-motivational, cognitive, reflexive and activity components, which serve as initial metrics for the monitoring system designing. Various functions of monitoring system are revealed, including constructive and indicative, information and analytical, integration, research and strategic planning. In addition to a set of principles, traditional for monitoring systems designing and implementing, the author provides the rationale for the humanization principle, which makes it possible to treat monitoring system as a means to support students� professional and personality self-development, professional self-determination and self-fulfillment. Peculiarities of monitoring at different stages of students� readiness to continuous education (adaptive-and diagnostic, prospective-and-developmental, reflexive-and-regulatory) are described.

In the context of the unstable development of contemporary civilization, attempts to consolidate efforts among the pedagogical community to ensure the proper quality of education in the 21st century are becoming more and more relevant. It seems that the solution to such an urgent problem is feasible by developing an additive integrated model of pedagogical management based on the implementation of the integrative educational space of a pedagogical university (hereinafter – IESPU). According to the authors, the emergence and constant reproduction of relationships between the administration and employees of educational organizations of higher education to achieve the strategic goals of the university should become the main goal of developing such a pedagogical university management model. The methodological basis for the development and implementation of an additively integrated model of pedagogical management is the integrative and spatial approaches that determine the feasibility of designing IESPU and allowing providing access to the formation of teachers’ subjectivity in their own professional activities in the context of continuous personal and professional self-development. The authors consider it appropriate to offer a certain set of areas, essential in their opinion, for planning and developing an additive model of pedagogical management in the context of designing and implementing IESPU, taking into account its qualitative, spatial-temporal, socially-determined, and scientifically-grounded parameters, as well as the urban environment in which pedagogical universities are located.

The transformation of educational environment of a university mainstreams the processes of goal-setting and possibility of personal becoming of an educator. The object of this research is the process of professional self-development of the educator in pedagogical university in the context of transformation of educational environment. The subject of this research is the key characteristics of goal-setting within the structure of planning professional future of the educator in the conditions of transformation of educational environment. The author defines the valuation levels (low, middle, high) of goal-setting for the professional pedagogical self-development of the educator in pedagogical university with consideration of its structural components, i.e. indicators (realization of the need for professional pedagogical self-improvement, strategic planning, precision of goal-setting, etc.). Assessment of the levels was conducted taking into account the indicators within its structure (dyads), which are logically interrelated and reflect the professional pedagogical self-development of the university educator. The overall potential of self-development of the educators in pedagogical university is enhanced by such semantic modalities as flexibility in achieving the set goals and creativity of planning professional future.

The article presents the results of research and development of a model for the formation and development of a personal HR brand - an interactive navigator that helps a student and a young specialist in the field of personnel management to correctly build a professional development strategy and increase their value in the labor market. The choice of this topic is primarily due to the urgency of the problem of employment: it is difficult for modern students and young specialists to fully reveal and use their potential, since, firstly, they are not known in the professional environment and, secondly, they do not know how to position themselves on the labor market as professionals. Thus, they are required to take targeted active actions in professional self-realization, one of the main tools for the implementation of which is a personal brand. Thus, the aim of the study is to increase the value and recognition of students in the labor market and in the professional environment and their employment in their specialty after graduating from the university based on the use of the model for the formation and development of a personal HR brand.
