Teachers' professional competencies development in schoolchildren' professional orientation

The effective schoolchildren' professional orientation is possible in the case if the pedagogical staff is ready for this activity. However, according to the authors, there are a number of reasons that hinder this process. The authors of this article pay significant attention to the description of one of the tools for developing the professional competencies of teachers in matters of schoolchildren' professional orientation. The additional professional programs serve as this tool. The authors draw attention to the effectiveness of involving pedagogical workers in the development and implementation of this type of programs. At the same time, the statement that the result of this activity is not only an increase in the subjective position of the participants in educational relations, but also the orientation of the content of continuing education for satisfying the educational and professional needs of teachers is justified.
