Socio-economic development plays a huge role in improving the quality of education. The challenges that modern society presents to labor personnel contribute to the systematic and mobile development of the system of additional professional education. Modernization of the Russian education system is aimed at improving the quality of the pedagogical process. In this regard, at each level of education, the main criterion is the educational result and the assessment of its quality. Objective: to predict the main trends in the development of regional vocational education based on a study of its current state in conjunction with the development of the modern labor market and the national qualifications system and the design of an optimal model for a regional system of continuing professional education. The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), being part of the Far Eastern Federal District, has its own specific features, including extreme climatic and geographical conditions, remoteness of settlements from the centers, poorly developed transport system and significant population rarefaction, causing socio-economic characteristics and etc. Each natural-climatic zone with its own conditions requires special approaches and technologies in human life and methods of farming. At the same time, the economy of the most northern region of Russia can be characterized as dynamically developing. Today, the republic's leadership has determined the main direction of development of the northern region of Russia: Yakutia needs its own non-primary sector economy, creative industry. In this regard, at the present stage, the formation of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is facing the task of transforming the education system, introducing a new standard for all levels of education, involving from early age to scientific knowledge, the formation of high intelligence, the ability to think freely, outside subject areas, modern competence, focus on "smart economy". Analysis of the scientific literature suggests that one of the main methodological issues of the research is the problem of the readiness of the individual for professional activity, to integrate into the modern labor market. At the same time, the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature has shown that the issues of forming effective mechanisms and regulations for the development of a regional system of additional professional education in the context of the introduction of the national qualifications system of Russia in the conditions of the region need theoretical understanding and justification. When studying the site materials, we paid attention to the presence in the topics of dissertation research of terms related to additional professional education, continuing professional education, adult education, the development of a regional system of additional vocational education and related organizational mechanisms and regulations, the development of additional professional education in the context of the introduction of a national qualifications system and its elements, modeling or application m cluster principle in the development of additional vocational education. The results of the analysis suggest that the formation of effective mechanisms and regulations for the development of a regional system of additional professional education in the context of the implementation of the National Qualifications System of the Russian Federation is relevant, relevant and requires targeted research. In those years, 80 doctoral and 1,404 doctoral dissertations were announced, of which 32 doctoral and 120 doctoral dissertations deal with various aspects of additional professional (in the overwhelming majority, advanced training) and continuing professional education, adult education. A number of dissertation research, both Ph.D. and doctoral, conducted from 2013–2018, is devoted to studying the interaction of education and the labor market. The regional system of continuing education as a resource for the professional development of the personality was studied in the doctoral dissertation of Ya.A. Ilinskaya; dissertations are defended, highlighting various aspects of teacher development, the formation of their readiness for certain activities: inclusive education of children (I.V. Vozniak), formation and implementation of a personalized electronic educational environment in the conditions of additional professional education (V.B. Klepikov), development support of the spiritual and moral world of orphans (N.F. Yakovlev), development management of intellectually gifted students in the system of continuing professional education (R.R. Bikbulat ov) and others; socio-pedagogical conditions of continuous vocational education support (I.O. Ibragimov, M.S. Zadvorna, E.L. Makarova, A.V. Krasnoslobodtsev, O.S. Korkina, etc.); issues of development of professional success of teachers, professional competencies and professional improvement (M.S. Britkevich, N.V. Ganzha, L.V. Chernikova), organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development of modern additional professional education (V.S. Dmitrieva), modernization of the system certification of students of professional educational organizations in the conditions of the formation of the Russian national qualifications system (S.A. Efimova). Thus, there is reason to believe that the issues of forecasting and designing, as well as the formation of effective mechanisms and regulations for the development of a regional system of additional professional education in the context of the implementation of the national qualifications system of Russia in the region require a focused study.
