he problem of staffing for the priority sectors of the Samara region economy through the government-sponsored training mechanism
Abstract. The article provides an assessment of the use of the government-sponsored training mechanism, according to the legislative changes that have been implemented, as a tool for staffing priority sectors of the economy. The reasons for insufficient effectiveness of admission tools are analyzed, and ways to solve the identified problems are proposed to eliminate staff shortage in the priority sectors of the Samara region economy. According to the Strategy for the Socio-Economic Development of the Samara Region for the Period up to 2030, the following goals were identified as the main and strategically important objectives: staffingthe key industrial clusters, such as the automotive, petrochemical, aerospace, agrofood, and other sectors, as well as the small and medium-sized enterprises, and improving the system of government-sponsored training, vocational retraining, and advanced training for skilled workers in demand on the labor market, who are capable of lifelong learning and using their newly acquired competencies in their work. The development of measures to improve the mechanism of interaction between enterprises, universities, and applicants in the Samara Region as part of implementation of government-sponsored training mechanism aimed at providing full-fledged staff forthe key sectors of the regional economy will helpto retain qualified personnel in the region and reduce the outflow of young people from the Samara region, raising the status of the region as a competitive education and production cluster of Russia.
Keywords: staffing, government-sponsored training, regional economy, priority sectors of the economy, competitiveness.
Highlights:
- the current procedure for government-sponsored trainingdoes not motivate customer-organizations to participate actively in the system of intentional education of staff to meet their own needs;
- it is necessary to create a comprehensive ecosystem that includes incentive mechanisms for involving enterprises and organizations of key production and innovative sectors of the regional economy in the system of government-sponsored training of personnel forthe real sector of the economy in the Samara region;
- it is needed to develop a unified regional standard for motivating students and applicants to sign the contracts of government-sponsored training, as the financial support measures offered by customer-organizations according to the contracts are often not at-tractive enough for applicants in the terms of their further obligation to work for the cus-tomerorganization for several years.
