SYNERGY "SCHOOL + UNIVERSITY": CAPSTONE - CAREER GUIDANCE MODULE AS A TRANSITION TO HIGHER EDUCATION

The Capstone module "Career Guidance and Professions of the Future" is conceived as the final stage of the Synergy educational program "school + university", combining all the accumulated experience of pupils and students into a single trajectory of a conscious choice of profession. Unlike the basic modules aimed at forming metacompetencies, Mini -MBA, providing management training, or electives such as "Technologies of the Future", focused on research practices, this module has a strategic navigation function: it helps graduates not only decide on the direction of further education, but also correlate it with the prospects of the labor market in 2035-2050. The novelty of the approach is that career guidance is viewed not as a formal procedure (tests, consultations), but as a practice-oriented immersion into professional worlds through VR/AR simulations, artificial intelligence, competency maps of the future and job practices. shadowing ("following a professional"). This format allows schoolchildren to live a "rehearsal of a profession", see its pros and cons, and correlate personal interests and skills with the demands of the global economy.
