Innovative Aspects of Personnel Training for the Agrarian-Oriented Region: Problems and Prospects

Abstract

The current state of staffing organizations of the agro-industrial complex [AIC] of Russia causes serious concern of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, in whose department there are agricultural educational institutions and the heads of educational agricultural organizations engaged in the training of specialists. The analysis allowed the identification of the main problems in this direction, which are social in nature due to the decrease in agro-industrial organizations in the countryside engaged in the production of agricultural products and their processing, and the demographic crisis of the 90s. It is believed that only agricultural institutions can fill the personnel gaps that appeared as a result of the economic crisis of the 2000s and revive agricultural organizations that are the locomotive of the development of the food, light, and heavy industries in the country. It is educational institutions of secondary, vocational, and higher education that currently determine innovative areas of work and develop curricula with the primary goal of motivating potential applicants in choosing an educational institution, faculty, and their future profession. The Government of the Russian Federation and departmental structures determined measures to promote the development of infrastructure and social stability for young and promising specialists in agriculture. The considered stages of stabilization of this scientific direction will ensure the sustainable development of the Russian AIC.
