Title:  DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING SYSTEM IN RUSSIA
Abstract:  In accordance with the President of the Russian Federation’s Executive Order No 599 of 7 May 2012, at least one out of every 2.7 employed workers aged 25–65 years should be involved, in 2015, in one or other supplementary professional training program (either short-term or long-term) (hereinatier – SPT). As shown by the RF Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat)’s data for 2010 (i.e., prior to the issuance of Executive Order No 599), only 15.8% of Russia’s total employed population were participating in qualification improvement and professional retraining programs. In 2013, this index (according to Rosstat’s survey) dropped to 13.8%. The lowest percentages of staff involved in SPT programs were observed in agriculture, fi shery, and the hotel and restaurant industry – 4.5%, 4.4% and 4.0% respectively. The highest indices were demonstrated by the fuel and energy resources extraction sector (30.7%) and metallurgy (25.6%).
