Abstract

The problem of continuing professional education is relevant and complex. It is relevant because the system of continuous professional education should become an adequate response, both to global trends and to reducing the sources of Russia's sustainable economic growth under the sanctions. Its complexity is confirmed by the absence of a holistic system of continuing education, even in those European countries that are leaders in this field. The main objective of this paper is to systematically analyze the state and problems of Russian vocational education in the context of challenges. The challenges facing the Russian system of vocational education are explored. It is suggested that the main challenges are the increase in the adaptive properties of this system and the strengthening its competitive positions in the international educational space. The analysis of the contradictions in the level of demand for vocational education services, the offering of these services and the interaction of supply and demand were carried out to understand the extent to which the system is ready to respond to these challenges. Key problems of transition to the model of continuous vocational education based on the results of the analysis, are formulated. The criteria for selecting measures aimed at resolving contradictions were proposed, the main one is the optimal ratio of flexibility and social security. Methods of logical and statistical analysis, systemic and institutional approaches were used in the process of work. The most significant sources of information were studied.
