Improvement of State Policy in the Field of Education in the Transport Industry

This article examines the current state of higher education programs related to the planning, development, and management of the transportation industry, including urban electric transportation. The study analyzes existing workforce requirements in this sector and evaluates higher educational institutions that provide training in transportation planning, design, and management. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that, with the current low level of employment in the specialty, plans for the development of the country’s transport complex, the current number of higher educational institutions training engineers, designers and managers in the transport industry is insufficient. Since the problem goes beyond the educational aspect, the author offers rec-ommendations aimed at addressing this issue and improving personnel policies in the transportation sector as a whole. The proposed approach is designed not only to mitigate the personnel shortage in the industry but also to establish a reserve of qualified specialists necessary for the transition towards comprehensive electric transportation development.
