Abstract

Relevance. Public-private partnership in the field of vocational education is a crucial tool for modernizing the system of training future professionals, particularly in the context of globalization and rapid technological change. It enables the attraction of investments, the improvement of the material and technical resources of vocational education institutions, the implementation of innovative technologies, and the adaptation of the content and forms of the educational process to meet the demands of the modern labor market. In the context of vocational education reform in Ukraine, public-private partnership fosters the integration of the private sector into the professional training of qualified specialists and supports sustainable development of the state, national economy, and society. Purpose: Based on research results, the article aims to identify and substantiate the key components, content, and structure of the development roadmap for public-private partnership in the field of vocational education. Methods: The study involves analyzing scientific sources, legislative and regulatory documents, and empirical data on the development of public-private partnerships in vocational education to determine the state of the issue. Theoretical analysis and synthesis, as well as generalization of viewpoints on the researched problem, were used to identify and justify the main components, content, and structure of the development roadmap for public-private partnership in vocational education, followed by summarizing the conclusions. Results: The key components of the development roadmap for public-private partnership in vocational education have been substantiated, which include the stages of cooperation between public and private entities, such as the legal regulation of the involvement of public and private partners in the professional training of future qualified specialists; the formation of institutional mechanisms for interaction between partnership participants; the creation of a flexible system for evaluating and monitoring the quality of vocational education; the stimulation of investments in improving the material and technical resources of vocational education institutions; and institutional mechanisms for supporting the implementation of strategies for teacher preparation and professional development. The content of the roadmap for developing public-private partnerships in vocational education is presented with the following structure: introduction; legal framework for regulating public-private partnerships; implementation and monitoring of pilot projects for public-private partnerships; scaling up successful pilot projects for public-private partnerships and integrating their results at the national level; mechanisms for improving public-private partnership projects and adapting them to changing conditions; conclusions and recommendations; appendices. Conclusions: A well-structured roadmap for developing public-private partnerships in vocational education, which takes into account all partnership components, enables effective collaboration between the state and business. This leads to improved quality of vocational education, its adaptation to labor market needs, increased transparency of management, and the efficient regulation of contractual relations and private investments. For the development of public-private partnerships in vocational education based on the roadmap, the following recommendations are proposed: improving legislative and regulatory conditions for public-private partnership development; ensuring transparency and adapting legislation to new challenges and protecting the rights of all partnership participants; actively involving private companies in educational projects by creating additional financial and tax incentives, as well as expanding opportunities for collaboration between businesses and vocational education institutions; scaling successful public-private partnership projects to the national level, taking into account the economic specificities of different regions; ensuring support and monitoring of public-private partnership projects to adapt them to local conditions and needs; creating infrastructure and a digital educational environment for online learning and the development of digital competence among partnership participants; developing financial mechanisms to support students, facilitating wider access to quality vocational education for all citizens; conducting systematic labor market monitoring and analysis to timely respond to changes in employer needs, regularly adjusting educational programs to meet current demands and trends; investing in the preparation and professional development of vocational education teachers, ensuring their access to modern knowledge and innovative teaching methodologies.
