High quality education is one of the main aspects that enables graduates to be competitive in the labor market. Competitiveness consists not only of professional knowledge and skills, but also of different qualities, such as resistance to stress, initiative, sociability, application of knowledge in practice and skills for self-organization, just to name a few. Contributing to the development of these qualities creates new difficulties for higher educational institutions (HEI), since in order to do this effectively, it is necessary to use a modern material and technical base and involve first-class specialists with practical experience. The problems of higher education faced by Ukrainian HEI today do not allow students to fulfill their potential in their own universities. Moreover, the qualifications of students after graduation are often not good enough to meet the needs of employers. One of the ways to make the education system more effective for both students and higher institutions is a dual education system. This reserch aims to describe the model of dual education as a tool to solve the main problems faced by Ukrainian universities. The article reveals the differences between the traditional model of education and dual one: acquisition of technical skills, development of critical thinking, learning through experience, and reflection on work practice, solving problems in the work environment, and is thus centered around real-life projects. Also the study shows the approaches to the organization of this type of education, which are inherent in different countries,as well as the advantages that allow dual education to increase the competitiveness of universities in the country and, as a result, their graduates. Based on the experience of Germany, a world leader in the organization of this model of education through the analysis of its basic elements, an algorithm of implementation of concept of a dual education in Ukrainian HEI was developed. Proposed main steps that universities should take to implement dual education (such as creation of a dual education department at universities; forecast of sectoral and regional needs; search for enterprises that are interested in the dual form of education; selection of students for vacant places for dual education; signing a tripartite agreement; curriculum development to combine practical and theoretical knowledge; issuance of an order on the organization of dual education and referral of students to the enterprise during dates; regular monitoring of student work at the enterprise; control of learning outcomes) will allow them to improve the quality of skills of graduates, as well as create more effective relationships with local enterprises and the state.Keywords: dual education, university competitiveness, traditional education, world experience of dual education.

The practical experience of implementing the technologies of forming engineering thinking of students of higher educational institutions is given in the paper. The formation of engineering thinking through the competence approach is possible due to the study not only of the theoretical lecture course but also the solution of practical problems with the introduction of interactive teaching methods. Studies have shown that the use of various techniques in the educational process has markedly increased the perception of the theoretical material by the students, and, importantly, the interest in a discipline and the need for acquiring, preserving, multiplying knowledge.

The academic paper is devoted to the use of interactive methods in the process of studying the humanities in order to form the professional and communicative competence of future specialists in construction and civil engineering. Currently, the issue of active applying the case method, business games in the classrooms in higher educational institutions is rather relevant. This is due to the fact that the modern educational process is aimed at the formation of basic competencies as follows: professional and communication ones, skills and abilities of intellectual activity, the development of the ability to process a large amount of information. Another argument in favour of the using interactive methods arises from the requirements towards the professionalism of any specialist in construction and civil engineering, who should master the optimal behaviour in various professional and everyday situations emerging in real life. In the present academic paper, we have tried to prove that in the process of using interactive methods, the degree-seeking student becomes an active subject of the educational process under the direct supervision of a teacher, which has a positive effect on the formation of numerous competencies, in particular, professional and communicative ones. In the process of a business game or work on a case, the mastering of new terminology, acquaintance with new vocabulary, the use of speech cliches occurs. The correct use of grammatical forms and syntactic structures is of particular importance during the oral presentation of the decision. Professional knowledge and confidence in the ability to solve problems is an incentive towards forming professional and communicative competence in Ukrainian language classes for professional direction. Therefore, it can be stated that in the context of this scientific research, the expediency of using interactive methods has been justified in order to form the professional and communicative competencies of future specialists in construction and civil engineering during the course of studying at higher educational institutions.

The article discusses some of the features of teaching translation in regional higher educational institutions. The factors influencing the organization of the learning process are considered, and the possibilities of using modern approaches in the preparation of professional translators are analyzed. Today, life itself dictates the need to create a new system of personal and professional development of modern specialists in the field of intercultural communication. The following factors can be identified as the main ones affecting the efficiency and success of the educational process: geographical, social and economic and educational. Geographic refers to the growing number of universities that train translators not in the capital but in regional higher educational institutions. Higher educational institutions, which yesterday were technical, economic and even agricultural have recently received the status of universities and today are actively engaged in the training of future translators. Under the socio-economic component, the problem of the material and technical base of the university and the provision of such faculties and departments with qualified specialists is considered. Educational factor means the level of foreign language proficiency and it should be mentioned that it is not enough profound for translation activity. The training of translators is based on the position that training in translation and interpretation should be carried out by different methods. It is necessary to provide practice in this activity to each student Practice shows that significant difficulties in teaching translation arise due to a lack of understanding of the textual nature of the translation process, due to the inability to isolate nationally specific features, and also due to insufficient knowledge of the algorithm of translation actions. Therefore, from the very beginning, the training of future translators should be aimed at the formation of professional translation competence. The inclusion of the educational process in real life, allows the teacher to demonstrate clearly what the knowledge and training in the classroom turned out to be successful and useful, and what needs correction and improvement for successful work.

The authors study the problem of improving the level of training of university and college graduates by using modern approaches, based on the principles of quality management, in the system of professional education. In order to develop creative economy, the government of Russian Federation focuses on scientific and educational centers including regional ones which work on the basis of organizations of professional education. According to many experts, the level of training in regional higher educational institutions and branches of those located in the capital of the country does not comply with innovation requirements. There is a need for building modern material base in the regional higher educational institutions and colleges; there is a need for decent salaries for the staff. Educational institutions should accept the ideology of quality to be followed by all the employees not in words, but in deeds. The learning process used for centuries and based on the transmission of knowledge from a teacher to a student has exhausted itself. The basic principle of quality management is the process approach. The basis for students’ high level of training is organization and implementation of the educational and training process in educational institutions. The main subjects of the process are teachers and students. The efficiency of the educational process will increase if such approaches as consumer-orientedness, leadership and personnel interaction are used. The authors suggest making analysis of interdisciplinary links of the content of academic disciplines set out in the working academic programs. They also point out the advisability of a system of training in the classes of leading teachers. The readers’ attention is attracted to changing the ideology of controlling students’ knowledge and skills from punitive to diagnostic. The article contains recommendations to conduct regular surveys among the students and teachers to discover the areas of educational improvement. The results of the surveys should become the basis for making decisions. Implementation of the principles of quality management does not require large material costs.
