MODERN MECHANISMS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN VOCATIONAL (VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL) EDUCATION IN THE POST-WAR PERIOD

Abstract

The relevance of this article is defined by the need to substantiate the modern mechanisms for the development of public-private partnerships in vocational (vocational and technical) education to attract private investment and innovative technologies into professional training of skilled workers for various sectors of the economy in the post-war period. It will be based on mutually beneficial economic and organisational relations between state authorities, local governments, the private sector and vocational education institutions. The aim is to identify and justify the modern mechanisms for the development of public-private partnerships and to find out the possibilities of their use in improving the quality of vocational (vocational and technical) education in line with the demands of the labour market in the post-war period. Methods: studying of scientific sources, legislative and regulatory documents, empirical data to determine the state of public-private partnerships in the field of vocational (vocational and technical) education; theoretical analysis and synthesis, generalisation of scientific approaches to the problem under study in order to determine the mechanisms for the development of public-private partnerships in vocational (vocational and technical) education and drawing conclusions. Results: there are identified and substantiated the modern mechanisms for the development of public-private partnerships, including forms, means, and tools that are key to ensuring effective interaction between partnership participants to improve the quality of vocational (vocational and technical) education and meet the needs of the labour market in the post-war period. Conclusions: the modern mechanisms for the development of public-private partnerships in vocational (vocational and technical) education, which define the framework for cooperation between the state and the private sector and are implemented to improve the quality of vocational (vocational and technical) education, include: contract, institutional, investment, concession, leasing, franchise and project forms of partnership; means (contract for the provision of educational services, outsourcing, councils for vocational (vocational and technical) education and labour market, educational programmes, direct investment in infrastructure development, joint investment projects, leasing of equipment and technologies, leasing of educational premises; franchise of educational programmes, franchise of educational services, joint educational projects, joint research projects); instruments (service agreement, outsourcing agreement, agreement on the establishment of joint educational institutions, charter of a joint educational institution, concession agreement, agreement on the development and implementation of educational programmes, investment agreement, memorandum of understanding, leasing agreement, maintenance agreement, franchise agreement, educational services agreement, joint project implementation agreement, research cooperation agreement). Their use is key to achieving sustainable development and introducing innovations in vocational (vocational-technical) education.
