Abstract
The article discusses approaches to developing a training program for professional education teachers in the field of eco-management and eco-safety at Tomsk State Pedagogical University. Implementation of National project "Environmental Well-Being" is impossible without eco-management specialists. Teachers who can organize education on eco-management are demanded. A content analysis of 15 programs on ecology and pedagogy revealed trends in integrating the principles of sustainable development into teachers training. Employers have shortage of staff and will to cooperate with universities that provide teachers with environmental competence. Solution to the staffing shortage at Tomsk State Pedagogical University is Master's program "Professional Training (by Industry)", focusing on "Eco-management and Eco-safety," which has been implemented since 2025. The program's methodological core is a clear distinction and interconnection of key-concepts. Eco-safety is viewed as a goal. Eco-management is considered a means to achieve it. The master's program model is a response to challenges of modern environmental agenda.
