Agrarian Sector

Modern Russia, being the agrarian-industrial country, sharply feels the need for highly qualified specialists of the agrarian sector. It is promoted by the new vector of the development directed to full import substitution of agricultural food. In these conditions, the inconsistency of the existing system of vocational education in Russia was revealed to the modern requirements of the domestic labor market. The professional community states the problem of staff shortage on the background of the annual numerous inflows of university graduates to the labor market. This situation has the right to claim that young specialists are often not ready for the independent professional activity according to their qualification.At the heart of many attempts to identify the primary sources of trouble in terms of staffing of the agricultural sector lies, first of all, the idea of over-theoretically preparing of the future specialists in universities and the substantive content of federal educational standards on which the universities are oriented in the context of the implementation of educational initiatives.It is assumed that the content of standards, verified and regulated by the ministry, determines the essence of the training of students of different educational levels and different areas of training. However, in the implementation in educational process of GEF of several “generations”, the incompatibility of the formed competencies showed the real needs of the professional community. These facts became the primary reason for the annual approval of new requirements for higher education and, finally, focused on professional standards.The initial assumption is that the agrarian sector specialist should receive a practical-oriented education that forms professional and legal competence as the basis for future professional activity.

Introduction. In the context of the instability of the labor market affected by the pandemic, the interest of the state and society to the problem of deregulation of labor relations is increasing. One of the most vulnerable social groups is young professionals who have just graduated from university and do not have significant experience of interacting with employers. The purpose of the article is to study the processes of precarization of youth employment by assessing and identifying the orientation of professional and educational trajectories of university graduates belonging to the precariat in the context of their failure or success. Materials and methods. The monitoring of university graduates employed in the Ural region and beyond in 2018-2021 is used. The empirical material includes survey data (5213 full-time bachelors and masters) and administrative data. Methods of classification and factor analysis (allocation of the principal components) are applied. Results. The classification of the precariat (34.3% in the graduation structure) is proposed, including freelancers (0.9%), IT specialists (6.9%) employed on a part-time basis (6.5%), foreign students (1.5%) continuing their studies from among the unemployed (7.0%), unemployed graduates (8.6%), graduates employed in outsourcing and a mixed type of the listed groups (2.9%). Three groups of factors determining the specifics of the formation of the precariat among young professionals were identified: external factors – (1) the rate in the behavior strategy for rapid integration in the labor market (the significance of the high salary factor = 0.683); (2) the development of a career trajectory (the significance of the factor of having subordinates = 0.784, significance of having a managerial position = 0.722); internal factors – (3) orientation to self-realization in professional activity, deepening of competencies (the significance of the factor of continuing training = 0.648). Secondary employment at the university helps graduates immediately after graduation to reduce the risk of unemployment, to achieve faster integration in the labor market (among employed precariates – 85% combined work and study at the university, among the unemployed the share was 63%), but it is not a differentiating factor in determining the principal components. The focus of higher education (in particular, IT specialties, mathematics and engineering) largely determines the financial success in the group of unstable employees. Conclusions. In the modern conditions of the labor market, the precariat cannot strictly be called an unsuccessful social group. The advantage of the unstable employed graduates is that they are able to adapt to the uncertainty of the labor market by choosing flexible forms of employment, sometimes even without losing in wages, career trajectory, enhancement of their competencies, constantly updating knowledge, skills, self-realization in professional activity.

The Future

In the context of the general transformation of the leading sectors of the economy, the general employment paradigm is also changing, namely, the approach to the formation of professional competencies for job seekers in the labor market. These trends are increasing with the acceleration of the digitalization of society, which also penetrates into the analyzed processes. The article provides an overview of the models of professional competencies and their development, as a result of which the author has developed her own approach to this issue. Namely, it has been determined that the ongoing transformations increase the importance not only in the existing competencies of applicants, but also in the personal and intellectual abilities they have. In the modern world, the advantage is given to people belonging to the category of “work for the future”. They are the ones who strive to achieve the highest possible results, while finding ways for continuous development, and are more adaptable to digital transformation, including in the labor market. Despite the fact that the goals and objectives of the evaluation system of applicants’ professional competencies will remain the same for they seem common in the analyzed area of management and meet strategic corporate goals of companies’ development. The new will be the information support, which includes artificial intelligence, which first forms the set of applicants’ professional competencies, and then evaluates them. Taking into account the ongoing transformations, the article proposes a new model for the formation of professional competencies. The harmonization of the competency model of each applicant will form a single ensemble that does not contain incompatible competencies (for example, high innovation and strict compliance with regulations). The innovation of the developed model lies in the systematic distribution of competencies among employees, their direct management, and companies’ management. It is by using the proposed model, university graduates and people with experience who decided to change the profession will be able to determine their direction, to evaluate the correctness of the choice of profession, to present themselves to potential employers not only as high professionals in their field, but also to reveal their psychological data, cognitive abilities that are focused on results. Singularity of the changes that occur proves the relevance of the model and determines the aim of the article, which is to develop a model for the formation of professional competencies in the employment market, taking into account the ongoing changes and the growth of society’s technological activity.
