The main problem for the education in general and for the vocational education in particular is the creation of efficient models that enable a specialist to solve his life challenges and professional tasks in the situations of "digital" society. One of the manifestations of this multifaceted problem is the necessity to change professions while preserving the basic capability of a specialist (general professional and special professional skills) to different types of activities. The Aesthetical Paradigm of Education (hereinafter the AestPE) is a model that enables the professional education to form such a base with the help of human abilities and behavioral qualities. Based on the importance of a broader sense of the aesthetic experience and the principles of the humanitarian thinking (hereinafter the HTh) in professional activity, we are justifying here the creation of an AestPE the model for the vocational education through an appeal to qualitative and combined methods of research and of modeling.
