The article covers the phenomenon of the positive impact of the WorldSkills championship movement on improving the training of engineers at universities. Technologies of training young professionals developed in the WorldSkills championship movement have been effectively applied in universities in the last years. This applies to improve the content of educational programs and curricula . WorldSkills movement allows future engineers to improve their professional skills in working professions related to the future profession of engineer. The training base and training ground for students are being improved, direct contacts with different companies and representatives from the government are being formed during competitions. Experts claim that approximately every country in the world will encounter a lack of personnel in key sectors of the economy by 2025. We observe a rapid shift to the digital economy and see how new competencies are emerging and existing ones are developing. In 2020 the situation with coronavirus confirms the relevance of a rapid shift to the digital economy and improvement of existing competencies. Therefore, WorldSkills movement plays an important role in these processes. The consequences of existing trends in the development of the global economy are job cuts, the appearance of new people, and retraining staff to the digital economy and destruction of the usual mechanisms «guarantees of the future» (career guidance, long-term employment, and decent pension). These statements were cleared up with the support of Young professionals [1]. On the other hand, there is a declining interest in engineering professions all over the world. Nowadays only a small percentage of young people choose technical specialties and engineering education. Therefore, one of the most important problems is the awakening of young people's interest in engineering specialties from school days and while studying in colleges [2] . All over the world technological and engineering universities try to persuade young learners and students to study technical studies and engineering professions as a possible future career. That is why it is important to make new informal and other methods of developing an interest in engineering professions [3, 4]. International Young professionals WorldSkills movement has a crucial role in the process of training and teaching youngsters to adapt to new realias. And also provide engineering universities with effective methods and technologies for attracting talented young people to engineering professions and training of future engineers. |
