FORMATION OF SOCIOLOGISTS ACCORDING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

The authors focused on the training requirements of the sociologists proceeding from the new Educational Standart; specified the professional competences of the graduating sociologists, providing them with successful professional adaptation; described the difficulties in the professional development of working sociologists; outlined ways to increase satisfaction from the activities of working sociologists. As a part of study the content and workplace management of sociologists, their relationships with colleagues and employers were analyzed. The mentioned above points proved to be essential while training students. The connection was established between job satisfaction and staff turnover in companies; the plans to change job between the sociologists with high overall satisfaction are much lower, therefore qualified organization of studying and work placement for future sociologists will help to "wake up and smell the coffee" and to raise work satisfaction during the post graduate adaptation period. Gender imbalance was revealed. The correlation was traced between job satisfaction and life satisfaction; overall satisfaction index among sociologists with Higher sociological education is higher than among persons without basic profile education Sociologists who started their professional career long time ago have job satisfaction index higher than those who started not more than five years ago. The necessity of project activities, technological practice and the formation of competencies aimed at self-organization and self-development was marked during the preparation of future sociologists. The educational establishment should create conditions for maximum immersiveness of students into research activities, bring the curriculum of students to the real work schedule of sociologists.
