The employability of graduates in the labour market depends to a large extent on their training during their studies. In addition to the undoubted importance of the organization and content of the educational process, special importance is attached to control as a special function of confirming the actual knowledge and skills of the graduate. This means that the assessment of competences, despite the sufficient study of approaches to it, remains a subject worthy of attention. Based on reviews and research results on this topic, the article discusses in detail the ways of assessing the formation of competences by students of an educational organization of higher education, and also classifies approaches to assessing the readiness of university graduates for professional activity. Taking into account the current challenges from the labor market and society for an educational organization, the key guidelines that currently determine the assessment of students’ competences are highlighted, subject to the current restrictions in force in the educational organization, the learning process, on the part of teachers and students.
