S-curves of R. Foster's technological processes and labor market challenges to the higher education system

Abstract

It is shown that the rapid changes taking place in modern society put forward new requirements for the training of engineering personnel and create certain challenges to the education system, which should not only train qualified personnel to work with existing high-tech technologies, but also work for the future. Under these conditions, new approaches have been used to effectively train IT specialists, allowing them to develop tolerance to uncertainty, and prepare them for life and work during technological discontinuity. The implementation of such approaches is carried out by developing a self-established educational standard of higher education in the field of training "Information systems and technologies", which takes into account the conflicting requirements of production and society based on the Federal state educational standard and professional standards in the relevant fields of activity. On the basis of the proposed standard three educational programs have been developed, taking into account both the needs of the regional labor market and the objectives of the programs "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation", the development of the North Caucasus Federal District and North Caucasus Federal University, which allows to prepare a competitive, ready for innovation activities and self-actualization of Master's degree
