Abstract
The article discusses the issues of professional and personal development of workers in the system of advanced adult education. This issue is relevant due to the needs of the national economy and its challenges. The human resource component is considered as a factor that sets the vectors of technological changes. In relation to the formation of the professional and personal potential of a modern worker, the principle of advance is stated and substantiated, and the most important features and distinctive characteristics of advanced education are identified. The concept of "professional and personal potential" is analyzed as an integral characteristic of a person, which includes a set of interconnected personal qualities and professional competencies. In this regard, the importance of personalizing adult education, ensuring its end-to-end and multi-level nature, and overcoming the limitations of the so-called predictive-technocratic approach is noted. In the mechanisms of advanced professional and personal development of workers, the problem of mastering by adult learners not only national and industry-wide competencies, but also competencies demanded by the labor market, is particularly emphasized and analyzed. It also involves the development of existing and the formation of new personal qualities necessary for successful work and adaptation to new conditions. The article presents the results of a study of personal qualities and competencies that are formed during advanced professional training and determine the professional stability and success of modern workers.
