Where the way out of the "dark room"

Someone will say: "A strange question." And someone will just shrug their shoulders. Teachers of the same technical universities will keep silent: they say, why do they need additional workload?

Perhaps the situation is not so critical? So let's start in order. Ukraine is building a market economy, oriented to the final product - a commodity that needs to be sold. That is, in reality, a system is being created that covers training of personnel (universities), production (business), and sales (business). These elements of the system are interconnected by close feedback. If one element starts to slip, the entire system brakes.

Consider the basic element of the system - the training of personnel in universities. The situation resembles an example with a "dark room". At the "entrance", applicants choose a specialty, not having full information about where they will apply the knowledge they have received. And at the "exit" the university sells to buyers (business, scientific institutes) young professionals - or they independently solve employment issues.

At the same time, the number of sellers in the market of educational services, i.e. technical universities, in Ukraine for the years of independence has not changed significantly. Consequently, competition for potential entrants has intensified. To stimulate the interest of applicants in the departments, except for the basic specialty, they began to create specializations. For a time it was saved by universities and their departments. But if you follow the path chosen by young "techies" after graduation, the picture will be disappointing. Many graduates-technicians go to work not on the received specialty, but in trade, additionally studying foreign economic activity, jurisprudence, etc.
