Mechanisms of adaptation of educational programs to labor market requirements: experience in Business InformaticsThe study shows that the key problems in the training of specialists in interdisciplinary areas are
the lack of shared understanding of the content of professional competencies and a variety of re-quests
for knowledge and skills of graduates. For interdisciplinary educational programs, such as Busi-ness
Informatics and Applied Informatics in the economy, the problem is aggravated by the fact that the
rapid development of information technologies leads to a constant change in the requirements of
employers. To solve these problems, universities need mechanisms for constant adaptation of educational
programs to the labor market in a digital environment. The conducted investigation allows to
distinguish the following mechanisms: design of educational standards taking into account professional
standards, professional and public accreditation, councils of educational programs, questioning of
grad-uates and employers, participation of employers at all stages of the educational process. Due to
the lack of effective procedures for the use of these mechanisms, they are often applied formally. The
paper pre-sents the procedures for the implementation of these mechanisms, tested for five years in
the process of constant improvement of bachelor and master programs in “Business Informatics” at
Saint Petersburg State University. The proposed procedures can be successfully replicated for other
universities regarding their specifics.
