In the article the author presents a relevant experience of designing an actual competency model of an educator in vocational education and training (VET) which is based on the researches of the world and Russian labor markets. There is explained a term “innovative segment of a labor market” and given risks of vocational education and training in part of its interaction with this segment. The author made an analysis of trends affecting the vocational education and training development and analyzed data of the VET economics monitoring. The approach to designing a competency model of an educator in VET is described in consideration of the transforming role of an educator. The L.B. Krasin vocational school of creative industries experience in designing a competency model of an educator is presented, the competency models is given with detailed description of the competencies. Keywords: vocational education and training, VET, staff development, labor market, innovative segment human capital, educator, competency model.

The article substantiates the provisions and practical recommendations for assessing the innovation of staff, human resource management systems in enterprises. The peculiarities of innovative staff development are determined and the degree of influence of human resources innovation on staff competitiveness is assessed. It is substantiated that competitiveness is one of the most important categories of market economy. Significant for the competitiveness of the enterprise together with technologies and methods of production organization are the availability of professional staff, level of motivation, working conditions and various factors that ensure the level of employee competitiveness. The necessity of personnel development as a factor in increasing the efficiency of the enterprise is substantiated. An analysis of existing approaches to determining the competitiveness of staff. The influence of modern global trends is noted. With the need for the transition of Ukraine's economy to a post-industrial model of development, its digitization and robotization, there is a need for new approaches to the formation of knowledge, skills, competencies of personnel. In particular, in the use of the competency approach, which is directly related to changes in the nature and content of work, as well as changes in education and training. Conditions must be created for the integration of education and training in accordance with the needs of the labor market, as well as for ensuring the mobility of staff in several dimensions: vertical (career development), horizontal (industry change) and spatial (territorial relocation). The main advantages of the competency approach are integration potential and flexibility. The key characteristics and features of human resources management as a factor in supporting the growth of innovative development of the enterprise are summarized.

UNSTRUCTURED Objective In surgery electronic healthcare systems offer numerous options to improve patient care. Aim of this study was to analyse the current status of digitalisation and its influence in surgery, with a special focus on surgical education and training. Methods An individually created questionnaire was used to analyse the subjective assessment of the digitalisation processes in clinical surgery. The online questionnaire consisted of 16 questions regarding the importance and the corresponding implementation of the teaching contents: big data, health apps, messenger apps, telemedicine, data protection/IT security, ethics, simulator training, economics and e-learning were included. The participation link was sent to members of the German Society of Surgery via the e-mail distribution list. Results In total, 119 surgeons (response rate = 19.8 %) took part in the survey. 18.5 % of them were trainees (TR). 81.5 % had already completed specialist training (SP). 66.4 % confirm a positive influence of digitalisation on the quality of patient care. The presence of a surgical robot was confirmed by 47.9 % of the participants. 22.0 % (n=26) of the participants confirm the possibil-ity of using virtual simulators. According to 79.0 % of the participants, the integration of digital technologies in surgical education for basic and advanced stage surgeons should be aimed for. Data protection (1.7) and e-Learning (1.7) were rated as the most important teaching content. The greatest discrepancy between importance and implementation was seen in the teaching content of big data (mean: 2.2 to 3.8). Conclusion The results of the survey reveal the particular importance of digitalisation content for surgery, surgical education and training. At the same time, the results underline the desire for in-creased integration of digital competence teaching. The data also show an overall more pro-gressive and optimistic perception of TR. In order to meet the challenges of the digital trans-formation, the implementation of suitable curricula, including virtual simulation-based training and blended-learning teaching concepts should be emphasized.

In the past, solar energy education was limited to scientists and engineers who could develop new technologies and conduct research. Later on, a need was recognized to educate those who design and construct buildings, because solar energy applications were well developed for such applications. At present, numerous solar energy applications have been developed. Solar energy is currently used for heating and cooling of buildings, production of electricity for stationary and mobile applications, solar lighting systems, crop drying, water treatment, and environmental cleanup. Given the expanding use of solar energy, there is a need to educate society about solar energy. Thus, solar energy education and training programs should be developed at different educational levels to fulfill this need. Such programs need to recognize the environmental value of solar energy and the life cycle advantages of solar energy systems. This manuscript provides an overview of the status of solar energy education and training in the United States. Though the focus of this chapter is on the solar energy education and training programs provided by the academic institutions in the USA, a short description of non-academic programs is also provided.
