TRAINING OF SPECIALISTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE SOCIAL POLICY IN THE CONDITIONS OF POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The article highlights the need for training public administrators and managers to implement the state's social policy in the post-war recovery period. It is shown that the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation has resulted in a change in the conditions for the country's development, which requires a revision of the directions for training specialists. In addition, their professional competencies for post-war reconstruction should be formed taking into account the requirements and opportunities of the state, industries, and regions. It is justified that the most in-demand directions for training in these conditions are healthcare, education, construction, and specialists in the field of public administration and management, who are capable of organizing the work of the aforementioned industries. Consultations were held with stakeholders to develop effective programs for training managers. Questions for discussion were identified, and recommendations were obtained regarding the preparation of educational programs based on the results of the consultations. The main competencies and learning outcomes that learners should acquire from studying each component are listed, with an emphasis on the importance of studying the communicative component and its link to general and special managerial, foreign language, and IT training. The authors argue that proficiency in a foreign language at least at the B2 level is a timely and reasonable requirement for government officials, public administrators and managers. Special attention is paid to the educational component of project management. It is shown that there is currently a shortage of specialists in this field in the country, making the study of project management relevant and necessary. The authors believe that the continuation of this work will involve communication with graduates after they have gained work experience in their chosen field and taking into account their wishes: strengthening certain components, reducing or increasing certain accents on educational components.
