The Role of training in the innovative development of the Russian Arctic

Today one of the major problems in higher education is the lack of a close connection be--‐ tween science and education. Often the research carried out without due regard to the educa--‐ tional process. Modern development of universities occurs in a limited interweaving of science in education, active involvement of students and graduate students in science. It is this relationship and enhances the quality of education and, accordingly, innovative development in general. Par--‐ ticular importance of close links between science and education due to the innovative develop--‐ ment of the economy of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (Russian Arctic).

The problem of training in the Russian Arctic regions complicates severe demographic situ--‐ ation. Continues moving population in other affluent areas of the country. This is due to factors such as curtailing the production of various industries, the cessation of funding of a number of government programs and the associated reduction in the industrial and residential construction.

The article not only deals with the problems of training, but also considered specific pro--‐ posals to improve the quality of training, which should be fixed by law.

Requirements to the staff in the AZRF

The current situation in the labor market makes serious demands on training in the system of higher education. Increasingly in demand are competent graduates, ability to work effectively in the new dynamically changing of the socio--‐economic conditions. In the course of their preparation leading role acquires focus on the personal professional qualities, can significantly reduce the pe--‐ riod of thr development of pro--‐profession and improve competitiveness.

In the transition to innovative development of regional economy of the Russian Arctic is becoming a key area of thereproduction specialists with higher education, taking into account the specifics of the northern and the development of the natural resources in harsh climatic condi--‐ tions. This is determined by the special requirements for staffing, the main of which are compe--‐ tence, adaptability, mobility and innovative thinking.

The requirement of competence in the terms of the Russian Arctic is the most important. The presence of human intrinsic motivation to quality implementation of their professional activi--‐ ties, the presence of the professional values and attitude to his work as a value. Any competency model will not viable without a strong desire to succeed and his professional aspirations go to the target, regardless of the subjective and objective difficulties. Therefore, the main task of the high--‐ er education system is the formation of the students' self--‐motivation that will allow them to fur--‐ ther maximize the reveal individual abilities and qualify for decent employment.

In the context of the Russian Arctic adaptability requirement or a person's ability to quickly adapt to changing external conditions, and requirements of the new situation is critical. We are talking about flexibility, endurance, ability to perform tasks at the scheduled time are subject to risks and uncertainties.

Without requiring specialist mobility or ability to change its labor functions in form, con--‐ tent and impossible to count on its productivity. Change of the jobs and work can be carried out in time, in space, as well as in time and space.

Innovative thinking as a requirement for the human resources required for any specialist in any activity as assists in the ability to find new and original solutions to the professional problems, quickly take them in the extreme situations and contradictions that arise in the process of finding [1].

Problems of the trainings of the staff

With the transition to a market economy to the universities of the Russian Arctic regions there was a problem commercial use of their developments and research findings. With an inno--‐ vative approach or embodies new knowledge and become new products or become objects of in--‐ tellectual property, services, and new technologies. Thus, the results of the scientific activities, large--‐scale source of which is High School, become the object of sale, that is transformed into a commodity. When interacting with the market using marketing practices, the owner of the goods it is possible to commercialize the results of the scientific works, that is to make a profit from their sale. In the implementation of the innovation process institution of higher education is facing a number of the challenges: organizational, resource and legal issues.

For the Russian Arctic regions remain unsolved problem of the increasing scientific and in--‐ novative capacity of institutions of higher education, including: providing patent and legal support to develop innovative projects; creation and maintenance of an information network, at least in the chain of "High School --‐ a potential customer (business, organization Region)"; university scien--‐ tists participate in the formation of the innovative regional development strategy; monitoring of the market innovation; accounting research, innovation potential of higher education to meet the needs of the market; Search free market niches; development of the strategies for the use of themscientific results and profit maximization; allocation of budgets on innovative projects in pri--‐ ority order dictated by the market.

There are two groups of the tasks necessary to solve the problem of training programs for the innovation and technological development of the Russian Arctic regions and enterprises.

The first group – is the providing of the innovative nature of the basic education, including: updating the structure of the network of educational institutions in accordance with the objectives of innovative development, including the formation of integrated scientific and educational insti--‐ tutions; ensuring the competency approach, the relationship of theoretical knowledge and practi--‐ cal skills; development of the variability of the educational programs, including the creation of a system of applied bachelor degree.

The second group – is the creation of a modern system of the continuous education, train--‐ ing and retraining of professionals, including: establishment of the customer support services con--‐ tinuing professional education, support of corporate programs for training and retraining of the professional staff; create a system of the support organizations that provide quality services of continuing professional education.

The main problems of the system of higher education are as follows:

• 1)    the former form of a hierarchical system, devoid of policy levers and the economic impact and develop new management mechanisms in the changed circumstances, is unable to

cope with its functions to maintain a single educational space, ensuring equal access to quality education, quality control and management of the development of education;

• 2)    the network of the educational institutions in need of the substantial restructuring. It does not promote efficient use of resources and specialization does not meet the changing con--‐ ditions and needs of society. Optimization of the network of educational institutions is im--‐ portant, and its solution is not only able to provide a significant increase in resource effi--‐ ciency, but also will meet the needs of the population in the quality and diversity educa--‐ tion.

The quality of training for the innovative development of regions of the Russian Arctic --‐ one of the main indicators of competitiveness of higher education institutions, so positioning the uni--‐ versity in the education market is critically dependent on the efficiency of its interaction with the company--‐consumers of graduates of higher educational institutions. But these institutions are in--‐ terested in cooperation with the company not only as a supplier of information necessary for the preparation of a full--‐fledged professional, but also as a source of additional budget revenues. At the same time, the company may not be the only consumer of the graduates of the educationa institutions, but also a customer of the scientific research, supplier doctoral students, post--‐ graduate students, students refresher courses and advanced training of specialists for the second education and so forth. Thus, the company is interested in getting virtually all types of the educa--‐ tional services provided by institutions of higher education.

Improving the quality of the education and trainings of the staff

To improve the quality of education and training for the transition regions of the Russian Arctic to the innovative development of the author considered a number of the factors.

• 1)    Development of the fundamental research. Funding for this work as possible at the ex--‐ pense of the federal budget, and at the expense of the system of competitive grant funding implemented by domestic and foreign scientific funds. The largest of these funds – is the public Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) and the Russian State Science Founda--‐ tion (RHF).

• 2)    Expansion of the relations of the universities in small towns in the Russian Arctic regions with other scientific organizations, primarily academic. Their integration will contribute to the development of the science in higher education, the teaching load reduction perma--‐ nent staff of the universities, more balanced combination of the scientific and educationa activities.

• 3)    Active participation of universities in innovation activities on contractual basis with organi--‐ zations and enterprises of the real sector of the economy. The high proportion of contrac--‐ tual funds in the amount of funding of universities can be considered as a promising poten--‐ tial of universities in the development of applied research and subsequent commercializa--‐ tion.

• 4)    Participation in the formation of the key elements of the innovation infrastructure such as science parks and innovation and technology centers.

It is obvious that the northern universities, maintain and develop the science and tech--‐ sector vysokoteh national science, and as such are considered strategic partners, objectively inter--‐ ested in improving kachestvavysshego professional education and research. At the time, some universities under the integration of higher education and academic research to understand the possibility of upgrading university research with the capacity of other, more advanced materially and ideologically sectors. However, more widely understood and more modern term "integration" is a versatile set of activities that attract students and even students to scientific work. The main purpose of the integration of scientific institutions and universities of the northern regions to im--‐ prove the quality and cost--‐effectiveness of joint activities in the scientific, educational and innova--‐ tion. The goal can be achieved through voluntary obedineniyakadrovyh, intellectual, material, technical, informational and administrative resources by pooling partners: universities, branches of RAS institutes, specialized research institutes, Inno--‐vative small businesses, business incubators, technology parks, innovation and technology centers, etc. [2].

The quality of training for innovative development in institutions of higher education in--‐ cludes federal and regional components of state educational standards and quality score, which reflects the requirements of enterprises. The first two components are standard and can not be changed or university, or now, that is. To. Set by the government and paid for by the respective budgets. But the third component is the subject of discussions between the company and the uni--‐ versity. It is necessary to take into account various factors that affect the quality of training of spe--‐ cialists for innovative development in higher education, the main of which [3]: the preparation of a new curriculum implies an advanced training, development and application of new technologies in education (primarily information telecommunication technologies, distance learning technolo--‐ gies); formation of the faculty of the university innovative qualities of innovation activity; structur--‐ al reforms in higher education, aimed at the integration of educational institutions at various lev--‐ els around the university; the creation of new and improvement of existing state educationa standards; Opening corporate departments and universities; organization of federal pilot sites at leading universities for testing and dissemination of innovations in education, science and indus--‐ try.

To improve the quality of education and training must be ini tiated by implementing the following directions that will ensure the quality of training specialists, chisleobespechenie stable, minimally adequate funding; modernization of material--‐technical base; the formation of modern--‐ term information environment; ensuring retain young teachers; creating the conditions for eco--‐ nomic growth in the real sectors of the production; development in higher education research work; update textbooks and manuals; professional development of teachers; revision of educa--‐ tional standards and programs; increasing demands for teachers and students; changes in the structure of training; tightening of the competitive selection of applicants and students.

The first four measures require a substantial increase in funding of high school, and the re--‐ alization of the full range of measures also requires institutional changes in the system of voca--‐ tional education.

Significant promise as to improve the quality and cost savings inherent in the cooperation in higher education. However, the beginning by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Rus--‐ sian Federation the process of combining high schools located in the same region, to ensure the savings in administrative costs, more efficient use of available material resources and professiona staff, for obvious reasons, has faced strong opposition from their leadership [4]

Conclusion

Shortage of staff is a significant obstacle to the modernization of higher education in the northern territories. Reducing this deficit is the most important task of human infrastructure. Hope of addressing skills shortages due to relocation specialists from other regions is not neces--‐ sary. In this situation, the educational institutions of the Russian Arctic regions are the basis for the preparation of the professionals for innovative development [5].

In modern conditions a higher education institution is an organization that accumulates material, economic, scientific, technical, financial, information, intellectual resources and trans--‐ forms them into the final product --‐ the knowledge, skills, professional competence, formed from graduates of the university; innovative educational programs, the results of scientific, technica and intellectual activity. The role of higher education institutions in the innovative development of the economy of cities of the North is invaluable, since the intellectual component of the university is one of the major innovative resources available to society.
