The article examines the problem of creating a comprehensive gender-sensitive educational space in the general secondary, vocational pre-higher, and higher education institutions in terms of finding ways to improve the quality of educational services for career guidance and professionalization of individuals in the new socio-cultural situation in modern Ukrainian society. The main provisions of the article reflect progressive ideas of international organizations and the requirements of Ukrainian legislation on equal rights and opportunities for men and women in all areas of human life, especially in education. The purpose of the article is to conduct a gender analysis of spatial and organizational conditions of educational institutions of different levels and substantiate a possibility of introducing a gender-sensitive approach in the general secondary, vocational pre-higher, and higher education institutions as a basis for quality assurance and professionalization of students. The study uses a comprehensive methodology of gender audit of educational institutions, which includes analysis of scientific and practical, as well as instructional and methodology literature, documents on the organization of educational process, questionnaires for teachers, monitoring of pedagogical communication, interviews with education providers and students, and preparation of a report and recommendations for improving the quality of the educational environment in terms of career guidance and professionalization of adolescents and youth. The results of the gender audit of educational institutions at various levels prove the link between a non-discriminatory environment and the efficiency of preparation of adolescents and youth for conscious and balanced professional choices. They show continuity of each level of education in the creation and cementing of gender stereotypes about social roles and division of professions by gender, which hinders successful professional self-determination of girls and boys; specific typical educational cases with latent discrimination and the reasons that cause lowering of the potential in students of both genders are presented. It is determined that the creation of gender-sensitive educational space promotes the development of critical thinking of adolescents and youth, rethinking and destruction of gender stereotypes in all participants of the educational process, their motivation for creative and innovative activities, their readiness to accept new ideas, and efficient career guidance. Practical recommendations for optimizing spatial and organizational conditions of educational institutions and providing educational services in the process of career guidance of school and college students have been developed.

The University

The strategic orientation of any modern educational organization is to achieve competitive advantages in the market of educational services. The competitiveness of the university is directly dependent on the quality of its educational services. Evaluation of the quality of education, in turn, goes to such concepts as the rating of the university and its accreditation. Discussion of this area of higher education is actively conducted in the academic community, but its research, especially in the realities of the digital economy, is insufficient, which makes this publication relevant. The purpose of the study is to identify the actual features of achieving high competitiveness in the conditions of digital transformation by a domestic university. To do this, it is necessary to analyze the existing experience of Russian higher education in terms of responding to the challenges of digital transformation and develop recommendations for achieving high quality education in modern conditions. The research methodology is based on the theoretical foundations of professional education and the competitiveness of Russian universities. The article analyzes the domestic and international experience in assessing the quality of education, while proving that the main criterion for assessing the competitiveness of a university is the quality of learning outcomes. Methods of comparative analysis, observation and generalization are used. The study proves that modern Russian higher education does not always adequately respond to the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation. A number of systemic problems hindering the achievement of high quality of modern higher education are identified. The necessity of combining the introduction of innovative technologies of the educational process with the preservation of the advantages of traditional education is confirmed. Promising directions of constructive interaction of the university with the most important stakeholders of higher education – employers are proposed.

The Relationship

The article is devoted to the study of the relevance of the competencies of graduates of engineering specialties in the labour market. The authors consider higher schools of Russia and America. Schools are guided in training of engineers on deep and actual knowledge, skills in the professional sphere, but forget about not less important, fl exible (soft) skills which are accepted to call «soft skills». The authors consider the quality of education of students in connection with its competitiveness and the possibility of employment in the labour market, the relationship between education and employment, the relationship of assessments and the actual competencies of the specialist. The authors show that the key indicators of the eff ectiveness of higher education and the quality of training is the degree of orientation of educational programs on the labour market. Labour market orientation is realized through interaction between education and employers and is formalized in the form of criteria and requirements for graduates in terms of their current practical suitability for employment. The introduction of new Federal educational standards poses the problem of developing such curricula, the implementation of which will allow graduates to form the necessary competence for employers. This suggests the need to introduce an additional system of assessing the qualifi cations of young professionals in the educational process of higher education, helping to determine the degree of their readiness to work in the profession and the initial orientation of University curricula to maximize this readiness. The system of professional standards acts as a basis, which helps to build training in accordance with the production requirements and determine the quality of this training.

This article focuses on the issues of methodology of the concepts of "quality" and "quality of education" in the relevant regulatory documents and views of the researchers from the ancient – and to our times. The new philosophy of quality is a general category. In addition to products (goods) and services, it generically applies to enterprises, organizations, institutions, their personnel, and management systems. And nowadays, the term "quality" means not only the high quality of goods but also, above all, the way of management, as well as life. In the recent years the issue of the quality of educational services in higher education has gained considerable popularity both in the civil society and in the world. The modern educational paradigm considers this concept as a multifaceted model of social norms and requirements for a personality, an educational environment in which its development and development of a system of education that implements educational tasks at certain stages of study in higher education institutions takes place. It does comprise everything: the quality of the teaching and methodological base, the quality of teaching staff and teaching staff, the quality of providing educational services, the high degree of satisfaction of educational needs of students and, finally, the quality of the subject of learning. The quality of education is a generalized indicator of the development of a society in a particular temporal dimension, and therefore it is considered in the dynamics of changes characterizing the state's progress in the context of the latest world trends. The International Standard also regulates the concept of "quality of education" as a set of properties and characteristics of the educational process that meet the educational needs of consumers of educational services. All these are worldview concepts that have a methodological value to ensure the high quality of education at all stages and levels.
