Digital learning methods for the digital economy

摘要

The transition of the economy to a digital basis requires a significant change in the structure of education. The country's economy will need personnel who are fluent in computer technology. Some specialists will need to retrain. The problem of employment of graduates is a pain point in higher education. The increase in the number of students receiving higher education is of great social importance, since world statistics show that a highly educated stratum of society is much less likely to commit violent crimes, has a higher duration and quality of life. However, higher education requires significant investment by both the state and students. The lack of demand for young professionals in the labor market leads to social tensions and the inefficiency of investing budget funds. Using the statistics of the Ministry of Education and the monitoring of graduates' careers conducted by the Higher School of Economics, the authors analyze the causes of career failures of young professionals. The demand for university graduates depends not only on the objective economic factors that shape the labor market but also on the preparedness of young professionals for independent work. The authors consider various measures taken by the interested parties of this problem - by the state, universities, employers and young professionals. The state is trying by legislative measures to reduce the number of budget places or to return the institution of compulsory distribution of graduates. Universities are trying to attract business to teaching in the basic departments. The employer is resigned to the fact that every young specialist hired will have to be retrained before being allowed to work. Students are trying to find a job during full-time study, reducing the quality of knowledge. In conclusion, the authors analyze the experience of combining work in a target enterprise and getting higher education in the framework of cooperation between the base enterprise and the higher education institution.
