Social and environmental competence as a component of university graduate’s competitiveness

Abstract

In the modern world of innovative and digital technologies, one of the priorities of the country’s strategic development is the transition to environmentally friendly and resource-saving energy, where research of the development of technological systems for climate and ecosystem management is particularly relevant. However, before starting a particular research in this scientific field, it is necessary to solve the main task of organizing professional training of specialists in the field of environmental education. It is important to create a set of measures for the effective formation of socio-environmental competence among students of higher education institutions. Based on our previous research of practical pedagogical experience in developing a competitive specialist with certain professional knowledge and skills in the field of their professional activities, we have developed and implemented in the educational process a model for the formation of socio-environmental competence of students. Within the framework of this model, a set of diagnostic measures was carried out to identify interdisciplinary knowledge in students, including environmental knowledge, as well as their further relationship with the formation of a professionally successful career.
