| Annotation: | The growth of production in all sectors of the country’s economy has led to a shortage of personnel. The highest demand among employers is for graduates of secondary vocational education institutions with a working profession. Given the rapidly changing technological processes, graduates of secondary vocational education institutions do not always have enough competencies to perform their work functions at machine-building enterprises. Based on the existing problem, the purpose of the study was to develop and implement an internship program in the activities of a machine-building enterprise. Thus, the article discusses the problem of internships at a machine-building enterprise for graduates of secondary vocational education institutions hired as tool fitters. The analysis of the publications allowed us to formulate the concept of an internship, which is a way for a young specialist to adapt to a new workplace. In essence, the internship will allow a graduate of a secondary vocational education organization who has taken up the position of a tool fitter at a machine-building enterprise to consolidate the knowledge and skills he has acquired during his studies, as well as to supplement the former professional competencies with new work functions. The conducted research has shown that the need to implement an internship program is related to the problem of adaptation of young specialists at enterprises of the machine-building complex. In addition, many graduates of educational institutions, when faced with difficulties in the workplace, try to change jobs, which creates problems for the employer. In the course of the research, a methodology was developed for organizing and conducting an internship for the profession of a tool fitter, which was introduced into the production activities of a machine-building enterprise. The professional profile of a tool fitter was designed, as well as a scale for assessing the level of formation of his labor functions. The experimental work carried out has confirmed the effectiveness of the internship implementation in the activities of a machine-building enterprise for working specialties. | ||
