THE ABILITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM OF UKRAINE TO PROVIDE PERSONNEL NEEDS OF THE NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY INDUSTRY

The study made it possible to establish that the current state of training specialists in the field of renewable energy will not allow in the near future to quickly achieve the goals of intensive development of renewable energy proclaimed by the country's leadership. This will not improve the energy security of the regions and the country as a whole. This conclusion is based on the fact that, firstly, the training of specialists in Ukraine in educational programs on renewable energy is carried out by a limited number of higher education institutions, a significant number of which are accredited only by mid-2024. Secondly, the number of applicants operating in the current educational mastered this specialty in all years of study is not high. This will make it possible to rejuvenate the staff of workers serving existing renewable energy facilities. However, it will not allow to achieve the rapid development of projects for the introduction and use of alternative energy sources in the country. The work systematizes the markers of success, the focus on which by the guarantors of educational programs on renewable energy will improve the quality of educational services and interest applicants. These markers define the highly professional staff of teachers in the framework of educational programs; provision of the educational process of the educational program with certified laboratories with high-tech equipment; the availability of double degree programs in the specialty of the world's leading universities and international mobility programs; conducting joint scientific research with foreign scientists; introduction of a practice-oriented approach to learning. The most effective directions for increasing the number of highly qualified profile specialists in renewable energy in the labor market of Ukraine in the post-war period are formulated. These areas were recognized as increasing the level of wages in the field of renewable energy; ensuring a high level of investment for the development of human capital in renewable energy enterprises; expanding opportunities for professional development in the industry; improving the quality of existing and opening new educational programs for training specialists in renewable energy; providing a full cycle of training specialized professionals on the basis of the country's leading institutions; increase in public opinion the prestige of the entire spectrum of professions related to renewable energy. This should allow solving the rather painful problem of energy security for Ukraine.
