VOCATIONAL (VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL) EDUCATION
1’2021

Abstract. Vocational (vocational and technical) education is a component of the Ukrainian system of education, where a person can acquire knowledge, skills and abilities in a particular occupation. A prerequisite for the development of such education is to ensure that its content corresponds to the needs and challenges of modern society. It responds to the demands of the labor market in the need for personnel for the economy and at the same time remains an important part of the education system. The article presents the results of a study of the peculiarities of the implementation of programs for the development of vocational (vocational and technical) education institutions. It is established that a major barrier to the development of such programs is a lack of awareness among managers and teachers of the organization and planning of project activities and cooperation with donors, attracting crowdfunding platforms for additional funding sources. It was found that vocational (vocational and technical) education institutions need additional funding to update and modernize the material, computer and software facilities, as well as improved mechanisms to encourage teachers to adopt innovative learning technologies and students to succeed. Prospects for the development of institutions based on crowdfunding as an effective tool for attracting additional financing from alternative sources are outlined. The need for a broad educational campaign among the heads of vocational (vocational and technical) education institutions on the dissemination of information on these opportunities and practical measures to develop the necessary skills in the use of crowdfunding tools is justified.
Keywords: vocational (vocational and technical) education, management of educational institution, project activity, financing, crowdfunding.
