Career guidance of Tomsk university students (systematic approach)

Relevance. Ensuring employment and promoting professional development of young specialists is one of the main directions of the state youth policy of the Russian Federation. The task of stabilizing the labor market is reflected in social policy of the state, as these indicators also affect the macroeconomic development of the country. However, assessment of the employment of university graduates and their behavior in the labor market demonstrates their low awareness in choosing a profession. This situation affects the formation of control figures for admission of applicants to budget and paid places in universities, the economic component of the country, the inexpedient costs of the state for a certain percentage of young professionals. In the current conditions, the correlation of these indicators is likely to be negative. Aim. To update the authors' career guidance system for youth for comprehensive training of university students and improving the efficiency of their employment with the possibility of its implementation in universities. Methods. Analysis of literature and sources on the research topic, comparative analysis, retrospective analysis of information, closed formalized anonymous survey, pilot testing of the system. Results. The authors have studied the employment of graduates of three Tomsk universities, the situation on the labor market in Russia, in some aspects in the Tomsk region. It is proved that the problem of effective employment is relevant and attracts the attention of the government. The authors updated their career guidance system, which has already been partially implemented in the work of the Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics Career Center. The paper introduces the recommendations for implementing the system. Conclusions. The proposed system can be used at Russian universities. This will improve the quality of employment of young professionals, and therefore the stability of the labor market and the economic and social components of state policy.
