SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SYSTEM OF HIGHER VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN THE POST-LOCKDOWN SPACE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the research of the reasons that require restructuring and transformation of social professional relations in the post-lockdown world. The research revealed that due to the changes in the environment of emergency problems and socio-economic uncertainty, employees of enterprises are experiencing professional burnout and immersion in themselves. At the same time, enterprises as a whole are seeing a decrease in the level of professional interaction, a weakening of corporate and company culture, a suppression of cooperation, which, of course, leads to a decrease in labor productivity. All this becomes a source of social problems that have not yet been named in scientific space. The study showed that the pandemic COVID-19 forever changed the nature of the activities of organizations around the world, and therefore business transformation is inevitable. It will be built on the transformation of the thinking of people doing this business. And if we say that speed and flexibility will be the main qualities of the new professional space, then we must inevitably say that these qualities will be generated by people who have quick and flexible thinking, able to quickly adapt to new conditions. Adaptation is the mechanism of survival; therefore, social adaptation is the ability of a person to survive in society. The study made it possible to draw conclusions that competent and successful social interaction will become the basis for competent transformation and restructuring of business and economic relations in general. In connection with all this, there is a need to revise approaches to the training of future specialists, because the educational environment has a social responsibility to employer and employee for the training of personnel with the skill of social survival, the ability to navigate the social space and the ability to quickly adapt to society. Education should encourage students in the profession to be autonomous, creative and mindful. One of the ways to overcome this situation and form professional personnel with critical and creative thinking is the humanization of high education.
