Abstract

The article considers the problem of the increased role of human capital whose competitiveness becomes one of its main qualitative indicators. The structural components of this concept, which initially included knowledge, skills and excellence acquired by people through education and training in accordance with the requirements of the federal state educational standards for higher education, were transformed into general-cultural, general-professional and professional competences. The authors give their own definition of the concept “a future economist`s competitiveness” and define its structural components. The choice of the competitiveness` structural components, which are the abilities (informational, communicative, analytical, projective, evaluative-reflective, value-orientational), is determined by the specific types of a future economist`s professional activities: computational-economic, analytical, research, organizational-managerial. The technology of project activity is considered to be an effective means of forming future economists` competitiveness in the process of professional training. The authors believe that the optimal condition for developing future economists` competitiveness is the interrelationship between educational and extracurricular activities. This interrelationship is ensured by establishing the interdisciplinary links between the professional subjects, the humanitarian discipline "Foreign Language" and the Business Club activities. It is proved by high awards of the future economists` projects presented at international and university competitions and conferences and by the data of diagnosing the formed levels of future economists` competitiveness on the basis of cognitive, motivational-value and activity-related criteria and corresponding indicators which showed a positive dynamics of the increased level of future economists` competitiveness.
