Abstract:

The modern educational environment of the university is expected to contribute to the goals and aims of the professional activity, however, limitations often do not allow students to make an informed decision on the career path of professional development. The results of the study of the concordance between personal qualities of students and the future profession requirements should be taken into account while implementing a career support system for young people at the stage of vocational training. The survey made it possible to identify the main personal qualities of a specialist in human resource management. The conducted study of the concordance between personal qualities of students and the requirements to the personnel manager showed inconsistencies in a number of basic characteristics. The choice of diagnostic tools is justified by efficiency requirements from the university in professional development and career support of students. The research methodology is based on a survey and computer analysis using a multivariate personality questionnaire. The research concept is based on the theory of career self-efficacy and the theory of leading trends. The identified empirical data of personal qualities of students allowed to determine a set of activities for career support for university students, taking into account the level of their psychological and professional development. In the course of the research, the hypothesis was confirmed that the choice of priority tracks of career support for university students should be based on the consistent identification of the leading personality traits of students in accordance with the future profession.
