Abstract

The article researches the motivational aspects of vocational education for young people, in particular, students of vocational (professional and technical) education institutions, in the light of the transformations of the modern labor market and the growth of requirements for qualified workers. Taking into account the low popularity of vocational education among the younger generation, the author considers motivation not only as a key psychological resource of engagement, but as a dynamic phenomenon that is formed under the influence of personal, social, educational and cultural factors. Special emphasis is placed on the assessment of internal sources of motivation – value orientations, self-esteem, emotional maturity, peer influence and the ability to professional self-determination. Empirical research conducted on the basis of vocational education institutions that train qualified workers in the profession of «Postal Operator» using the T. Ehlers methodology and the «Your Values» test. This allowed the author not only to fix the level of motivation for success and learning, but also to delve deeper into the system of personal beliefs of respondents, in particular in the context of the formation of values, attitude to financial decisions, the influence of advertising on peers. The analytical part of the article reveals the typology of motivational profiles of students, identifies educational barriers and suggests ways to overcome them. The article also summarizes international experience in the field of increasing motivation for vocational education - in particular, the effectiveness of dual learning, gamification, financial support mechanisms, partnership with business and academic mobility programs is analyzed.
