| Summary: | The subject-matter of the article is the study of the peculiarities of the youth labour market in such a specific region of Russia
as the city of Moscow. The topic of the work is connected to the adaptation of young specialists training system to the regional
requirements of the employers of Moscow. The main hypothesis of the research assumes that Moscow is the atypical region of
Russia and it is inexpedient to apply criteria and methodological approaches, which are standard for our country, to its labour
market. As a method of the research, a selective survey of key employers of Moscow and respondents aged from 14 till 30 years
has been used. The data of the sociological survey conducted by the authors have allowed to establish the following features of
the researched region: a respectively low level of youth unemployment compared with the whole Russia; focusing of employers
on such features of personnel as a good communicative skills learning ability, professional knowledge and competences. Moscow
employers don’t pay significant attention to such characteristics of young specialists as language and computer skills, computer
knowledge and the diploma of a prestigious educational institution. The main difficulties in finding employment for young
specialists in the city of Moscow are: overestimated salary expectations; the weak professional training level and unwillingness,
in fact, to work. As a result of the survey, the practical offers have been formulated. There are two directions of their application:
the offers focused on the behaviour of the youth at a stage of their training and those offers focused on the increase of a practical
component of the activity of professional educational institutions. The authors came to conclusions about the need of a deep
orientation of educational institutions to the applied training for specialists, of practical workers for teaching special disciplines,
the development by future specialists their abilities to present themselves and the results of their work to the professional
environment (self-presentation skills) and to objectively estimate real opportunities of their employment |
