Институциональное обеспечение непрерывного инженерного образования

Abstract

The article raises the issue of the need to fix in professional standards, which are the  main normative documents in the field of qualifications, the requirements concerning the mandatory  continuity of professional competencies of employees, including through the institution of additional professional education. The authors propose possible options for introducing these requirements  without changing the established format of professional standards. The article substantiates the  leading role of research and design universities as the system-forming structures in the knowledge  industry in the formation of qualification requirements for new areas and types of professional activity, the necessity to develop and implement professional retraining programs for specialists before  they officially acquire the corresponding status and the professional standards will be developed and  approved for them.
