What is Going on with Employees' Professional Development in Ukraine?

Abstract

The article describes the current situation of employees' professional development in Ukraine. The selected statistical data show that the situation leaves much to be desired. The author analyzes the most crucial legislative documents which ensure the professional development. The revealed problems are the absence of necessary laws: on adult education, on post diploma education; the scarcity of other documents which must regulate the financial responsibilities and their fragmentary character. There have been outlined prognostic measures to improve the situation, among them working out the necessary legislative documents; using the potential of informal learning by both employers and employees; conducting comparative scientific researches with the aim to find out the progressive ideas and to critically implement them into Ukrainian practice.
