Abstract:

One of the priority directions of development of the States is creation of opportunities for self-realization of youth and the solution of the problems arising at it. The development of work with young people requires new innovative solutions and approaches. This is dictated by threats and challenges of a global nature, internal state interests, as well as changes in the characteristics of young people, its value orientations.

The process of training professionals to work with young people varies from country to country. The functions of these specialists vary. The existing regulatory framework defines national objectives for specialist work with young people. Despite this, specialists working with young people should be active in the international space, understand international problems, trends and be able to build cooperation in the process of solving them.

The purpose of the article: to determine the potential of international cooperation in training for youth policy.

The authors consider the process of training specialists to work with young people, taking into account the following features. They are:
1) the features of the youth audience: changing the pace of life, value orientations and professional orientations of young people; types of interpersonal communication, development of personal qualities, expectations, intentions and readiness for future active creative life;

The potential for international cooperation, both in the training of specialists and in the organization of their work, is not sufficiently utilized at present. The tendency to change for the better can be seen at the same time. Currently, the number of international educational resources, projects and training programs is increasing. International forums and conferences on youth topics are held. However, this activity is not systematic. There is no single information resource that contains information about the potential of different countries in the direction of the development of professionalism of specialists in working with young people.

The article will present an analysis of the experience of Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Spain, Serbia on the training of specialists to work with young people, including on the existing opportunities for its self-development, self-education and professional development. The authors conclude that at the interstate level, it is necessary to actively cooperate in the training of specialists to work with young people, namely, the deepening of their professional training.
