PRACTICE ORIENTED APPROACH IN THE SYSTEM OF AGRIBUSINESS STAFF TRAINING

Abstract

One of the main factors that define economic efficiency of agricultural production is highly-professional staff and blue-collar workers. The raising role of agribusiness staff is explained by necessity to intensify agricultural production by means of new approaches to production management and application of high-tech equipment and modern technologies. The problem of qualitative agribusiness staff is urgent in each region. During many years of reforms in our country, agricultural producers were deprived of professional staff training. Nowadays only small part of agricultural enterprises accumulates the experience of mutual cooperation with further training institutions. The rest part of employers remains passive in respect to the issues of training prospective specialists. The authors estimate the quality of human resources employed at agricultural enterprises ofOmskregion, satisfaction of employers with the level of staff training and cooperation of agricultural enterprises with institutions. The authors make conclusion about insufficient cooperation between agricultural producers and further training institutions. The authors make case that it is necessary to build the system of cooperation (practice-oriented approach) between agricultural producers and further training institutions that is represented in the paper. This approach solves two main problems related to the quality of staff training and their deficit.
