Abstract

Relevance: the modern conditions of global instability and the unprecedented losses sustained by the Ukrainian economy as a result of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation in 2022–2025, the vocational-practical training of qualified construction industry specialists acquires special significance; the educational process during the implementation of vocational-practical training is oriented and adapted to the requirements of production and its regularities, which necessitates the improvement of the content of educational and training programs in accordance with production conditions, while the use of innovative technologies occupies a priority place both in the industrial sector and in the educational process.

Objective: to analyze the current state of implementation of vocational-practical training of future construction industry specialists in the vocational education system of Ukraine, to substantiate measures to overcome educational problems caused by the war of the Russian Federation against our state, and to formulate requirements for updating educational programs in accordance with global and domestic trends in the development of the construction industry, the challenges of the state's post-war recovery, the concept of sustainable development, and industrial modernization.

Methods: theoretical analysis of scientific sources, normative-legal documents, and empirical data – to determine the degree of research into the current state of implementation of vocational-practical training of future construction industry specialists in the vocational education system of Ukraine; surveying pedagogical staff – to assess the level of organization of vocational-practical training in vocational education institutions of the construction profile; synthesis and generalization – to form conclusions regarding the measures necessary to overcome educational problems caused by the war and the requirements for updating educational programs.

Results: the modern conditions of the implementation of vocational-practical training of future construction industry specialists in the vocational education system of Ukraine have been determined; measures to overcome problems caused by the war of the Russian Federation against our state have been substantiated; requirements for updating educational programs in accordance with global and domestic trends in the development of the construction industry, the challenges of the state's post-war recovery, the concept of sustainable development, and industrial modernization have been outlined.

Conclusions: it has been clarified that the current state of vocational-practical training of future construction industry specialists in Ukraine is sufficient, but limited by an outdated material-technical base and insufficient implementation of innovative production technologies; it has been substantiated that the successful training of qualified personnel for the construction industry largely depends on effective forms and methods of organizing vocational-practical training, which involves the practical mastering and practicing of professional competencies of the future profession; priority requirements for the implementation of vocational-practical training of future construction industry specialists have been defined (adaptation of educational programs to Industry 5.0 standards, with an emphasis on human-centricity, strengthening the base of scientific and technical innovations, environmental literacy, and social responsibility, development of creative competencies and leadership; integration of ESG criteria into professional competencies, particularly in the context of the construction industry; orientation of the content of vocational-practical training towards the mastering by learners of innovative methods and technologies that will allow for the effective and high-quality performance of production tasks in the construction industry under conditions of rapid socio-economic global development; combination of modern theoretical knowledge of learners with practical skills acquired in a real production environment; development of the emotional intelligence of future specialists, the capacity for teamwork, and critical thinking).
