Modeling youth policy management processes at the university

This article explores the development of a promising model for youth policy management processes at a university. It emphasizes the need to update the methodological framework for youth policy at universities and the creation of a process model based on IDEF0 notation and SADT methodology, aimed at optimizing key processes in this area. The goal of the model is to increase the number of successful young people, thereby enhancing the performance of the university, employers, and other stakeholders. The model includes six first-level subprocesses that ensure the holistic functioning of the system. An important part of the study is the rationale for developing a comprehensive youth policy management model that includes mechanisms for interaction between various actors and an infrastructure for its implementation. The "SVOi Heroi" Museum and Educational Space project serves as a practical example, demonstrating the potential of the proposed model in achieving its goals. The study emphasizes the importance of reducing organizational change by implementing educational and information service frameworks that are flexible for integrating stakeholders and new processes. The developed model is a tool for increasing the effectiveness of youth policy, ensuring an increase in the number of successful young people and the success of the university, employers, and other stakeholders.
