Education is transforming into a mobile and open system, where the role of formal education is declining, and the influence of non-formal and informal (i.e. going beyond the standard educational environment) education is growing, new forms of receiving educational services are appearing, and the educational service itself is undergoing significant changes. These transformations directly determine the changing requirements for professional qualifications.

Results:
It is established that after graduation annually, an average of 20% of knowledge is lost. In the modern world of knowledge is a perishable product. Knowledge becomes obsolete very quickly. Many university graduates are now faced with the problem that the knowledge that they received in the learning process, and which were oriented towards their application in the future after graduation, has lost its vital importance and relevance and is completely outdated. Training takes on a permanent character. The success of a persons professional career in modern society directly depends on continuing education throughout the professional career.

The need for the formation of super-professional skills and abilities, which in turn should be universal for specialists of various industries, becomes especially urgent. Mastering them allows the employee to increase the effectiveness of professional activities in their industry, and also makes it possible to move from one industry to another, while maintaining their relevance. At the same time, the responsibility of the person himself for his own choice of educational and professional paths, accumulated competencies and experience is growing.
