“…Однако не всё так однозначно и имеются определённые опасения, связанные с внедрением и широким распространением образовательных микрокредитов [18]. Для того, чтобы такой вариант стал жизнеспособной альтернативой восполнения пробелов в навыках и профессиональной переподготовки взрослых, важно понимать, что микрообразование не существует изолированно [1], а является частью более широкой образовательной экосистемы.…”

“…Для адекватного ответа на социально-экономические вызовы возникает необходимость модернизации системы профессионального образования, улучшения стандартов преподавания и создания сети учреждений непрерывного образования для взрослых. Для достижения данных целей исследователями предлагается внедрить андрагогическую модель обучения в процесс профессионального образования на протяжении всей жизни [1]. Андрагогика представляется одной из доминирующих моделей обучения взрослых, имея решающее значение для экономического роста и социального развития [2].…”

The authors of the present paper conducted a comprehensive analysis of university place in the ecosystem of adult education, based on its characteristic functions, priorities of activity and emerging tensions. The participation of universities in the professional training of adults is analyzed. The research focus is projected on the assessment of the situation at the institutional (a university as a social institution) and organizational level (a university as a specific institution of higher education). A discussion of the prospects for transforming the place of higher institution in the ecosystem of adult education is presented. The study was conducted using a semiformalized interview method (n=36) with representatives of the commercial and public sector occupying key positions (heads and top management of universities, corporate universities, educational consulting organizations, providers of non-formal education services, etc.). Main results. Several points of university positioning in the structure of adult education ecosystem are identified: 1) the university is the core of the educational ecosystem and holds this status; 2) the university occupies the central place of the educational ecosystem, but can lose this status by certain actions or inaction; 3) the university is not the core of the educational ecosystem and should not be; 4) the university is not the core of the educational ecosystem, but could become it. According to most experts, universities occupy a central place in the ecosystem of adult education and have a high potential to retain leadership positions, provided that the educational material is relevant and meets the demands of the labor market. At the same time, it is important to consider that some participants of the educational ecosystem (online platforms, corporate universities and others) are rapidly increasing their influence and implementing large-scale educational programs for the population. Universities, having a high level of public trust and being mainly responsible for fundamental professional education, are interested in accumulating the advantages of other participants of the educational ecosystem. It is optimal to present the university as a central hub of educational practices for the population, accumulating the advantages of other actors of the adult education ecosystem. The article is addressed to administrative and managerial staff of universities, representatives of executive authorities and the real sector of the economy, scientific and pedagogical staff and graduate students seeking to study lifelong learning of adults.

Traditional models of vocational education are decreasing their relevance due to rapid technological progress. The need to update skills and competencies leads to the emergence of new educational trajectories, including short programs for acquiring competencies to perform certain work functions and enter the labor market. The article examines the features of microqualification programs, their potential for employee training and their impact on the labor market. The analysis was carried out on the basis of data from the federal project “Employment Promotion”, data on vacancies on recruitment platforms and the results of focus groups with employers. Microqualification is interpreted as a set of highly specialized skills necessary to perform certain work functions that do not require a document on basic education. The authors of the article consider models based on the use of additional professional education and vocational training programs, as well as models that form individual educational trajectories within the framework of basic professional educational programs. An analysis of the salary data of participants in the federal project “Employment Promotion” shows that the passage of programs for the development of digital competencies provides a significant increase in wages after training. The results of the study demonstrate the high potential of microqualification programs for adult education and the formation of competitive specialists. The article offers recommendations on the implementation of microqualification programs in the Russian education system.
