Higher education institutions can assist students in supporting professional self-determination through various forms and areas of activity: interaction with employers, organization of additional education, use of career guidance technologies. A study was conducted to identify the relationship between the work of universities to promote professional self-determination, the features of professional strategies and the level of employment of graduates. The following research methods were used: a survey of 150 4th and 5th-year undergraduate students from five Smolensk universities, analysis of the activities of universities in the studied area and analysis of employment data. The study showed that the number of students with targeted strategies significantly prevails in specialized universities (medicine – 100%, energy – 80%, physical education and sports – 73%) compared to classical University (63%). There is also a positive relationship between the participation of respondents in various events held by the University and the indicators of employment monitoring, as well as the percentage of graduates with active professional strategies. The results of the study showed that the effectiveness of the University's activities depends on the specifics of the provided education and the demand for the offered specialties in the labor market, the subjective attitudes of students to receive education, as well as the degree of actual implementation by universities of measures aimed at improving the competitiveness of students.

Presented is an algorithm for attracting consumers of educational services to higher education institutions based on benchmarking technologies, tracking the needs and trends in modern education in a specific market in a given period of time. The scientific novelty lies in development and formulation of the concept of “real and virtual criteria for choosing educational services”, that form preferences and needs of potential applicants, which should be based on the study and generalization of experience of career guidance available at the university. The study was conducted on the basis of Rostov state university of economics in the format of career guidance work in the process of questioning applicants and their parents, monitoring available information of the admissions committee. The relevance is confirmed by existing non-standard socio-economic, communication and technical conditions for obtaining educational services, as well as the specifics of activities of a particular university and a sharp reduction in potential applicants in certain areas of educational standard. The results reflected criteria of attractiveness of the university for applicants, as well as their view on motives, incentives and evaluation of the university, educational services, prospects for gaining experience and skills in the specialty. Generalized results of the study were discussed in August 2020 and used by the author in development of a career guidance project to attract consumers of educational services of the university in 2021.

There are many predicted changes for the future of work. These changes will have significant implications for the type of work that people will do and the careers they will have. The question for many higher education institutions is what can be done to support students in preparing for what is predicted to be a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) future. In this chapter, work-integrated learning (WIL) will be explored as a model of education particularly useful in preparing students for a VUCA world. The chapter will examine one WIL program in particular, the University of Waterloo's co-op program, and consider how its design aligns and supports students in preparing for their future work.

The gifted youth аre a strategic intellectual resource for the development of all countries in the long term. The priority direction of activity concerning the formation of creative potential of the gifted youth representatives is the creation of conditions for the actualization of their creative abilities and interests in the course of their professional determination. The purpose of this theoretical and applied research is to study the factors affecting the professional selfdetermination of representatives of gifted youth, as well as to identify the most significant features of this process. The authors analyzed the results of theoretical works of domestic and foreign researchers; they studied official statistical data. As the methodological basis of their research the authors suggest a questionnaire survey of 956 representatives of the working youth, conducted in 2017 in the cities of Tyumen, Tobolsk, Ishim. The licensed version of IBM SPSS Statistics 23 was used to analyze empirical data. Investigating the issue the researchers found out that the presence of young people with high abilities in any field during training at school and institutions of the secondary vocational and higher education contributes to the choice of their work on the profile of education in future, as well as a higher assessment of their personal and competitive potential, professional competence. At the same time, respondents from this group express great interest in moving to another country, despite concerns about the future of Russia. The authors confirm the assumption, that respondents have higher abilities in a certain area contributes to a more active process of their professional self-determination, greater stability and depth of their professional interests in the chosen field of activity. The results obtained in the course of the study may be useful for teachers and psychologists engaged in career guidance activities in the framework of work with gifted children and adolescents, as well as representatives of secondary professional and higher education organizations to develop effective measures of career guidance in relation to applicants.
