3. PROBLEMS WITH DETERMINATION OF DIRECTIONS AND VOLUMES OF SPECIALISTS TRAINING During the period of Ukraine s independence, the country has not developed an effective mechanism for forecasting and planning the needs and volumes of personnel training, especially specialists. Additional problems were brought by the Law of Ukraine On Higher Education , which in fact annulled clear definition of professional qualification in a diploma, that significantly complicates the search of a HEI graduate on the labor market. State Employment Service forms statistics on demand and supply by professions from national data source Classifier of Ukraine DK:003 "Professions Classifier . However, it is not updated and adjusted to ILO s (ISCO-08). Until last year October, soviet times practice of naming occupational qualifications by occupations titles also caused confusion. National Agency for Qualifications has not filled the National Register with existing qualifications, focusing on adding only new positions to it.
4. How issues of HE supply and demand are solved in the EU countries 1/2 Successful functioning of EVROPASS employment system: https://europa.eu/europass/en. Introduction of ESCO qualification system (European Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations). Since May this year the Ukrainian-language version of this system has been launched. https://esco.ec.europa.eu/en/use- esco/download There are a lot of specialized developments of the European Training Foundation for working qualifications and qualifications of the "junior specialist" or professional junior bachelor type: https://www.etf.europa.eu/en and CEDEFOP: https://www.cedefop.europa.eu/en
4. How this issue is solved in the EU countries 2/2 The majority of the EU member states base their activity on prediction and planning the amount of personnel training on public-private partnership basis. The state forms and funds analysis and development of medium- and long-term forecasts and employers calculate concrete sectoral needs by regions and professions for short and medium terms. The latest development of profiled European commission is creation and functioning of the BIGDA A forecasting system, which efficiently applies artificial intelligence.
5. HOW TO DETERMINE PROSPECTS AND DIRECTIONS OF SPECIALISTS TRAINING IN NEW REGIONS? 1 The 1st STEP. Determination the output of bachelors and/or masters by specialties during previous 3-5 years. It is necessary to take the appropriate region for certain specialties (pedagogical, medical, etc.). Several regions or the whole country could be taken for more diversified specialties.

5. HOW TO DETERMINE PROSPECTS AND DIRECTIONS OF SPECIALISTS TRAINING IN NEW REGIONS? 3 The 3rd STEP. Calculation of balancing between demand and supply of specialists on the official labor market by professions, included to the list by profile specialty. Comparison of results with yearly output of relevant specialists. Information source: statistical data of the State Employment Service and/or regional employment centers. Methodological recommendation of the relevant direction: https://smelnikukr.com 4 The 4th STEP. Analysis of the obtained results and decision making.
