Purpose Modern educational environment in the system of vocational education focuses on the requirements of labour market and those of employers to the content of graduates’ professional competencies. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to develop practical guidance on the arrangement of cooperation between labour market and regional vocational education system. Design/methodology/approach Participative approach allowed considering the cooperation between labour market and regional system of vocational education as the process aimed at creating management tools for formation, use, development of human resources. The research involved 300 teachers, 400 students, 100 employers, who found out the effectiveness criteria for the cooperation between labour market and vocational education system. Findings The findings reveal national models characteristics and universal tools for cooperation between vocational education institutions and enterprise. National models characteristics allow identifying the most advantageous cooperation tools; comparing suggested tools with the experience of others and thereby assessing their relevance and implementation risks. Research limitations/implications The research results allow us to plan strategies for further studies of this problem, which are related to the development of models for cooperation between labour market and vocational education system. Practical implications The identification of universal tools for cooperation between vocational education institutions and enterprise promotes the integration of national vocational education systems into national educational space. The materials of the paper can be useful for university leaders and professors; employees of centres for professional advancement and retraining in selecting and structuring the content of academic and teaching staff’s advanced training. Social implications The revealed criteria contribute to vocational education programmes integration, connection between professional and educational standards, students’ professional identity. Originality/value The effectiveness of the cooperation between labour market and vocational education system will be improved by studying national models and identifying the most advantageous cooperation tools (modular training, voluntary social/ecological year, educational resources integration, state and public management, clustering vocational education institutions and industry companies). This will allow comparing the suggested tools for collaboration between labour market and vocational education system with the experience of others and thereby assess their relevance and implementation risks. Improving the cooperation between labour market and vocational education system will be successful provided that universal tools for cooperation (socio-economic, educational, practical, innovative and technological) are identified, which promotes the integration of national vocational education systems into national educational space. The effectiveness of cooperation between labour market and vocational education system will increase on condition of criterion assessment (clustering, subjectivity, transdisciplinarity), promoting vocational education programmes integration, connection between professional and educational standards, students’ professional identity, students’ engagement in the development and implementation of research and production projects, stepped formation of professional competencies.
The relevance of the study is due to the positioning of teacher education as a state-public system. The purpose of the article is to develop a mechanism of state-public management of vocational and pedagogical education in the region. The methodological basis of the study was a set of principles of systematization, concretization, participativeness, allowing to establish relationships between the subjects of management. The main results of the research consist in substantiating the social partnership of organizers of pedagogical education; the creation of public institutions for the management of the quality of teacher education; integration of the subjects of management. The study involved 38 heads of educational organizations, 150 teachers, 430 students, who identified the criteria for assessing state-public management (rational, social). The significance of the results obtained is that social partnership ensures the organization of an educational consortium. The creation of public institutions for the management of the quality of education provides a public discussion of the evaluation criteria and transparency of the control procedure. The integration of the subjects of management provides networking for various logical reasons. The revealed criteria contribute to the conjugation of professional and educational standards (rational), the improvement of the system of continuous pedagogical education on the basis of consolidation and variable interaction of its subjects (social). In the course of the experiment, state-public structures of education management were created.
