Abstract To contribute to the construction of young professionals with an integral profile in which the competitive spirit is promoted through the resolution of a technological challenge applied to the Oil & Gas industry, under a scenario that demands a high degree of commitment and with the accompaniment of professionals with great experience in the industry. In accordance with the data acquired and the program's target population, an appropriate methodology has been established for the development and strengthening of technical and soft skills. This methodology consists of four main phases: 1. Challenge construction 2. Best Teams selection 3. Challenge Resolution and 4. Results presentation. During the challenge resolution phase, participants have multiple technical and soft skills training sessions where experienced professionals share their knowledge and experiences related to the challenge theme in an environment of generational knowledge transfer. During the last 4 years, around 120 participants from different cities of the country have managed to potentiate their soft skills and strengthen their knowledge in areas of the Oil & Gas industry such as unconventional, enhanced recovery, heavy oil, huff & puff, combustion had tests, wettability, waterflooding, among others and materialize it with the construction of an innovative technological tool. The best of each version was rewarded with their first work experience in the Oil & Gas industry where they were able to put into practice what they had learned during the program. Likewise, the continuous acquisition of valuable information about variables at the end of the program such as the knowledge areas of greatest interest for students and young professionals, the level of knowledge related to oil engineering and programming, the handling of a second language, and the skills acquired during the university training stage, has allowed strengthening the methodology of the"SPE en Sinergia" program, adjusting it to the current needs of the industry and placing the participants outside their comfort zone. The development of the program and the results obtained are based on the identification of the strengths and weaknesses currently displayed by students in their final semesters and young professionals in careers related to petroleum engineering in Colombia and that in one way or another have become part of the reasons why their link to the professional world has become more difficult. This has enabled a way to identify opportunities for improvement and establish lines of action to promote the professional fast-track development of the new generations in a joint effort between industry and academia.

The article presents the results of theoretical and experimental research of psychological peculiarities of emotional burnout of preschool educational institutions teachers with different work experience. As a result of theoretical analysis, it was found that the process of professional burnout is significantly influenced by the specifics of the subjects’ profession, and the teaching profession is characterized by increased responsibility and tension. However, in this context, more attention is paid to school teachers, and the predisposition to emotional burnout of preschool teachers is covered only in fragments in scientific publications. Data of an experimental research of the psychological peculiarities of the predisposition to emotional burnout of preschool educational institutions teachers with different work experience showed the differences in all components of emotional burnout of preschool teachers with different work experience. We were able to prove that young professionals are characterized by lower rates of emotional burnout, while experienced workers are characterized by higher one. Younger educators, despite the difficulties in their professional activities, have a positive attitude to their own professionalization, respond to difficulties and successes adequately. Instead, more than half of senior employees tend to respond inadequately to their own professional difficulties and successes. Preschool educational institutions teachers with little work experience almost do not feel emotional stress and alienation from professional activity. Instead, many experienced professionals are emotionally vulnerable, and they try to hide their reactions to the events of their lives by feeling personally alienation.

The literature on work-life balance primarily focuses on how individuals cope with high work demands. This study, however, investigates how young professionals experience the work-life balance support offered by organisations. Twenty-four millennial consultants were interviewed to explore their perceptions of work-life balance and organisational support policies in an extreme work context. Twelve consultants worked for strategy houses with an average working week of around 60 hours, while the other 12 worked for general management consultancies with average working weeks of roughly 50 hours. Our comparative findings suggest that overall work-life balance perceptions stay positive in both settings. In strategy houses, where work pressures are highest, reported policies and practices go beyond health programmes, training and coaching, which are the most common work-life balance measures. Strategy houses monitor their consultants’ work-life balance experience weekly, provide options to outsource components of the work, and offer multiple forms of compensation. These further policies are much appreciated. Despite these positive assessments, we also observe an increase of negative work-life balance experiences due to the higher work pressures at strategy houses. There is, therefore, some ambiguity in the work-life balance perceptions of consultants, who recalibrate what are ‘normal’ work demands and reframe and refocus on the bright side of work life. Such occupational ideologies indicate a ‘dirty work’ experience.

Purpose: As education and clinical preparation affect employment opportunities for entry-level dental hygienists, dentists’ perceptions of recent graduates should be considered when reforming education requirements. The purpose of this study is to examine general dentists’ preferences for employing entry-level dental hygienists from two-year versus four-year degree programs by surveying the opinions of dentists in Ohio. Method: A survey was distributed from June to September 2004, to a sample of 700 general dentists practicing in Ohio, all alumni of Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine. The survey included questions on hiring preference, salary, value of work experience, and applicable science and dentistry knowledge. Results: Fifty-six percent of responding dentists (n=225) have no preference for hiring a recent four-year dental hygiene graduate over a recent two-year graduate. Furthermore, the majority of responding dentists are not willing to pay a higher salary to recent graduates of four-year degree programs, including those with a hygienist holding a baccalaureate degree. Responding dentists perceive greater science knowledge among recent four-year graduates, but equal knowledge of performing prophylaxis and patient care among graduates of both programs. Conclusion: Two-thirds of responding dentists believe differences between recent two-year and four-year dental hygiene graduates no longer exist after two years of work experience. Perceptions of the significant role of work experience in training suggest that future reforms in dental hygiene education should incorporate more clinical experience to advance the professional capabilities of entry-level hygienists.

The study of the specifics of professional choice and of the factors that determine labor orientations of the youth is one of the urgent sociological tasks for researchers all over the world. The universal, supranational nature of this task under globalization explains the need to compare labor orientations of the Russian youth with their foreign peers. The article aims at assessing the basic ideas about the labor market of the youth in Russia, Germany and China. The empirical part of the article is presented by the survey and interviews of the Russian, German and Chinese youth. The author considers typical problems that the young professionals face when searching for a job, their opinions on the most important work qualities, similarities and differences in the perception of the ideal worker. Young people in Russia, Germany and China name different aspects of working life as the most important: Russian respondents value wages and the stability of organization more than the Chinese and especially German. On the other hand, German and Chinese students prefer activities that reveal personal creativity and leave space for personal life. Considering social capital, unlike their peers from Germany and China, Russian respondents do not associate the fact of having a university diploma with potential success in the labor market. More often than the Chinese and Germans respondents, the Russian youth mention nepotism and corruption as an obstacle to successful employment. Among the similar social perceptions of the respondents from three countries, one can name the difficulties associated with the lack of work experience. The interaction of educational institutions and employers can help in overcoming the difficulties that the young Russians face when searching for a job.

The article presents the results of the sociological research conducted in the framework of the Federal project “Personnel Potential”, which aimed at assessing the factors and conditions of employment of the graduates of Moscow universities. The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that every year, after graduation from higher educational institutions, the labor market has too much of the supply of highly skilled labor usually without work experience. The study of motivation that determines the search and choice of jobs by contemporary graduates, of their claims to the content and payment of their work, of their readiness for professional mobility can help to take necessary measures to reduce this problem. The article is based on the data of the research focused on girls who study or have recently graduated from Moscow universities. The results of the survey show that the choice of place of work is determined by a set of subjective and objective factors: future wages, career opportunities, prospects for professional and personal growth, and stability of the company. The authors identified three groups of factors that play a major, secondary and minor role in the girls’ choice of place to work. Salary is the leading motive of employment: the claims for high payment are typical for students and young professionals in the fields of natural sciences, information-mathematical and technical sciences, to a lesser extent - for representatives of humanities, culture and art. The empirical data proved the hypothesis that students of all educational profiles are ready to achieve financial well-being through labor migration.

Digitalization and cognitization of modern business processes forms a qualitatively new request for modeling innovatively-oriented concepts for the development of education and consolidated forms of interaction between all participants in the labor market: educational service providers, the business community, graduates and the state, whose goal is unified and associated with effective employment of young specialists, who are the main strategic resource of the modern socio-economic system. However, with a seemingly common interest, for many years young specialists have been the most unprotected category in the labor market. Lack of practical skills and work experience, the need for additional investment in the formation of the so-called “applied competencies” makes the professional development strategies of graduates vulnerable and uncompetitive. In this regard, the article conducted a study on the conformity and consistency of professional requests of labor market participants to the competencies of young professionals in order to combine efforts for their faster adaptation and development in the labor market.
