Abstract. The main problem addressed in this study is the mismatch between the training of qualified personnel and the needs of individuals, the economy and society. Vocational education and training (VET) plays an important role in providing opportunities for the continuous development of individual skills. In this context, the results of monitoring studies on the career trajectories of VET graduates will contribute significantly to the matching of acquired skills and competences with labour market requirements. Currently, in Ukraine, such monitoring research is carried out irregularly and unsystematically. Moreover, there is no common methodology for collecting reliable information on the success of VET graduates, their subsequent employment or the application of acquired skills in their work. The purpose of this article is to develop methodological recommendations for conducting monitoring studies on the career trajectories of VET graduates. The proposed methodological recommendations are developed for the first time and are based on surveys of a homogeneous group of graduates conducted one year after graduation. The research tool proposed is a questionnaire consisting of 11 modules covering all aspects of graduates’ career trajectories – from the choice of VET institution and profession to individual assessments of job satisfaction. The methodological recommendations also outline a set of indicators designed to facilitate an objective assessment of graduates’ employment status, their position in the labour market, and the relevance of the knowledge and skills acquired during training to labour market needs. Further research is needed to complement survey data with data from administrative registers. Thus, in order to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the career trajectories of VET graduates, it is advisable to combine data from the software and hardware complex “AICOM” with data from the State Register of Compulsory State Social Insurance.
