This research is devoted to the analysis of Pillar University's specialized department activity and its role in enterprise human capital formation. The essence of enterprise human capital and peculiarities of its formation are revealed. The interrelation of human capital with other production factors is shown. The profile of specialized departments is given as universal educational platforms of universities and enterprises and as a tool for enterprise human capital formation. The foundation of assessment of core enterprise human capital formation is constituted by sociological survey of its employeesspecialized department graduates. The results of the survey conducted are grouped into sections regarding the assessment of education program satisfaction, internship during training process and competencies obtained which facilitate professional adaptation. Aggregate indicator (Customer Satisfaction Index) was calculated for each of the given sections. By the example of Aircraft Engineering Department of Pillar University (Don State Technical University) qualitative assessment was carried out and perspectives of core enterprise human capital formation were defined. It is shown that the mechanism of collaboration between the teachers of the specialized department (enterprise employees) and the students strengthens the interaction between the carriers of human capital and plays an important role in its formation.

Introduction. A necessary condition for the implementation of digital transformation at the enterprise is the formation of relevant competencies among its employees, allowing them to freely carry out their activities. The active use of information technologies, digital solutions and the reduction of routine operations form the need for the development of digital competencies of employees of enterprises, especially high-tech ones. The purpose of this study is to develop a model of digital competencies of employees in the conditions of digital transformation of the enterprise. Materials and methods. In order to develop a model of digital competencies of employees of the enterprise, competence-based and heuristic approaches were used, as well as a method of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basis of the empirical base of the study was the conclusions of 10 experts working at a large machine-building enterprise (Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation), obtained as a result of brainstorming. Based on its results, 8 universal digital competencies of employees were selected. A matrix of their pairwise comparisons was compiled based on the results of the expert survey, in the form of a pairwise comparison on a scale from 1 to 9, and the matrices were normalized and the consistency of expert responses was checked. The consistency ratio S for all comparison parameters ranged from 0.13 to 0.19, that is, S <0.2, that is, there are no contradictions in expert estimates and no refinement of the matrices is required. A pairwise comparison of competencies was carried out for three professional groups of employees: managers, specialists (engineers) and workers. As a result, priority digital competencies were identified and a ranked list of them was obtained. Results. The study showed that the models of digital competencies are different for different professional groups of employees due to differences in the factors of intellectualization, creativity of work and responsibility. The priority of the key digital competencies selected by experts varies for different professional groups. For managers, the most priority digital competence is "communication and cooperation in the digital environment" (weight factor 0.65), for specialists (engineers) – "solving technical problems in the digital environment" (0.59), for workers – "ensuring digital security" (0.42). Conclusion. The results of the study allow us to conclude that it is important to determine the priority digital competencies of different professional groups of employees in the conditions of digital transformation of the enterprise. The use of the AHP methodology is advisable for developing a model of universal digital competencies of employees, and this algorithm can also be used to establish the priority of professional (special) digital competencies for each more specialized group of employees. The prospects for the development of digital competencies of employees are seen in the improvement of personnel development programs based on their training.

Purpose: This paper is aimed at revealing the subject-matter and specifics of the vocational education ecosystem of an enterprise as well as analyzing the role of advanced learning technologies in its development.Design/methodology/approach: This research focuses on the ecosystems approach based on a systems paradigm. The versatility of the ecosystems approach also allows using it in the study of social and economic processes, in particular, for the educational and personnel training system. The foundations of the stakeholders theory, direct subjective methodology, and case study method were used in this work to assess the effectiveness of a vocational education ecosystem. The effectiveness of the vocational education ecosystem is assessed on the basis of assessment of importance of knowledge and skills and satisfaction with knowledge and skills gained in process of training in its organizations.Findings: The authors of the paper reveal the essence of the vocational education ecosystem based on the integration of educational establishments and an enterprise. The overriding priority of the vocational education ecosystem of an enterprise is to provide its personnel with the necessary skills. The structure of the vocational education ecosystem is revealed from the perspective of its subject matter. It has been shown that the interactions between different entities of the ecosystem, as well as between them and the environment, produce synergistic effects. They, in turn, are responsible for the development of the vocational education ecosystem. Particular emphasis is made on the importance of stability of the ecosystem. The results from the analysis of the functioning of the vocational education ecosystem confirmed that it is efficient for solving the problem of providing the enterprise with the necessary personnel. The prospects for the development of the vocational education ecosystem can be seen in the improvement of learning mechanisms and the active dissemination of smart learning technologies, including those aimed at enhancing the integration of education with the community of professionals.Originality/value: The presented concept of a vocational education ecosystem based on the integration of educational establishments and the enterprise open up new vistas for solving the problem of providing the enterprise with the necessary personnel. The presented methods for assessing the effectiveness of the vocational education ecosystem of an enterprise allows identifying the problems of its functioning and potential for further development.
