Abstract

The problem of employment of young professionals in the conditions of changing technological way and the transition to innovative development is raised in the paper. It is shown that in the modern labour market new challenges are forming both for alumni and for the university system as a whole. Based on the research, it is stated that the competitiveness of a university alumni in a transforming world is determined not only by his professional specialization, experience, but also by his interdisciplinary training, as well as his social and personal potential. Alumni with universal competencies, demonstrating a higher level of social and cultural capital and having a convergent character of training are more preferable for employers.
