The article presents a model of psychological and pedagogical support for students, aimed at forming social skills, providing them advantages in the competitive labour market segments. The model is developed on the basis of the system approach and it includes an algorithm of psychological counselling for students in developing social skills to achieve high level of competitiveness within the chosen areas of professional activity.

The author presents the results of step-by-step psychological support for students on their formation of required social skills to provide personal and team advantages in competitive labor market segments. The suggested model solves the following urgent tasks: developing a technology for successful entry into the modern labor market; designing a route for professional self-development and building a career; forming current competencies in students; diagnostics and development of required social skills.

The data obtained showed that the development of basic integral personal and social skills at a level that meets the requirements of effective behavior in the labor market were found only in 30 % of students, approximately 15 % of students showed low level of social skills. The average level of development covers the remaining 55 %, and it is also insufficient and requires special psychological and pedagogical work with students.

The study identifies 37 target competencies required for students in order to achieve high efficiency on the labor market.

 

Keywords: personal and social skills; competitiveness; competitive segments of the labor market; personal self-development; professional self-determination; competencies; self-realization; successful career.
