This paper reports on an investigation into the value of the contribution of the higher education institution (HEI) context in developing graduates' enterprise skills. The study was an exploration of where graduates develop enterprise skills, examining the impact of the higher education and employment contexts on the development of these skills. The paper draws on a qualitative study in which interviews were conducted with pharmacy academics and employers. The results show that an ability to demonstrate skills in one context does not necessarily indicate an ability to demonstrate them in another, because the development and demonstration of enterprise skills are influenced by the contexts in which they are developed and demonstrated. The study adds value by highlighting the significant role of both the HE and employment contexts in developing enterprise skills, while emphasizing that these skills become more transferable through exposure to more contexts.

The article says that young people, starting with kindergarten, school, higher education institution, along with their mentor mentors, should deal with the issues of consolidation of Ukrainians. By the way, uniting Ukrainians, for whom the unresolved war with Russia is a big problem, there is a falsification of real facts in mass media, changing worldview, vital values and judgments is rather difficult. After the restoration of Ukraine's independence, the issue of the dissemination of truthful information about Ukraine and Ukrainians around the world became very relevant, which directly involves the Ukrainian Ukrainian Civic Congress (UCU), whose activities help to bring the full political, social, economic and other aspects to the Ukrainian and world community. the life of the Ukrainian diaspora and the Ukrainian state. I think that the most important thing in this issue is the formation of a national identity. I set myself before the goal to find out how the world can influence or help a person who does not realize which national group she belongs to. What does she know about her own historical territory, does she owns and uses the language of the state of Ukraine, which (its) citizen considers himself ... Not the formation of a national identity leads to a threat to the national security of the state - the layered society, the low level of culture and political culture (it prompts buckwheat), separatism intensifies, civil society is not seriously formed or in any way formed ... Returning to the main task of the UWC - the preservation of the national identity of Ukrainians, we must emphasize that this is the support and development of Ukrainian culture, the protection of the rights and interests of Ukrainians both in the diaspora and in Ukraine, the coordination of the international ties of their constituent organizations that support and develop Ukraine's national identity, spirituality, language, culture and heritage of Ukrainians around the world. The UWC assists in the development of public life of Ukrainians in the countries where they live, and also strengthens the positive attitude towards Ukrainians and the Ukrainian state and protects the rights of Ukrainians, regardless of their place of residence, in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. So the article is intended for educators in the first place. To sum up, it should be noted that the formation of a national identity is one of the main tasks of the Ukrainian state at the present stage. To implement it, it is necessary to actualize the efforts of educators of all levels and non-governmental organizations in the field of public and, above all, interethnic relations.

This conceptual paper discusses changes in higher education sector, growing competition as a result of new private education providers and the adoption of student-as-customer perspective in recruitment and marketing of higher education institutions. The paper reviews numerous models of student choice and identifies inconsistencies in the role of social factors in the student choice. These inconsistencies are of special importance in current higher education landscape and growing prominence of peer-to-peer communication via social media. Consequently, a thorough understanding of influences that effect student choice of higher education institution is imperative. This conceptual paper puts forward a conceptual framework that integrates Kelman’s processes of social influence and Cialdini-Goldstein’s  goals that underpin the acceptance of that influence to examine the effects social context has on student choice of higher education institution.
