Internal and external factors of higher school students' vocational plans and practicesas a managerial resource (by example of Tomsk State University)

There is influence of external factors including the state educational policy, rules for entering the university, school, teachers, labour market. Internal factors are analysed such as students' ideas about higher education values, aims and means, assessment of the chances for job placement, wish to work by specialty. The results of the researches showed the dual character of the intentions and students' professional practices. On the one hand, there is students' uneasiness and frustration. Students are of a low opinion of their perspectives at the labour market. On the other hand, there is no coordination between students' uneasiness and their efforts: they are anxious but do not want to do anything. The researches showed that students mainly demonstrate adaptive rhythm of education and self-education. There is no strategical behaviour, innovation and creation in their professional-educational practices. They study under their own inertia. Only one out of ten students differs from the main bulk. These students participate in self-education, take part in projects and look for the contacts with future employers. The main conclusions of the article are:1..There are objective problems of imbalance between students' specialization and labour market needs.2..There are organizational problems of students' professional orientation. The main problem is the practical training ineffective structure. Students have no possibility to get work experience, to show their personal qualities and attract employer's attention.3..There are problems of recruitment geography. It limits to one's own town or region. It has negative influence on motivation and career behaviour because students from other towns largely possess the qualities.4.There are problems of students' training and career motivation. It characterizes the situation in university on the whole. The result is students' indifference and there is no stimulating of competition in university and at the labour market.5..There is insufficiency of supplementary educational programs' effectiveness. Optimal management can solve most part of the problems.
