Globalization processes and socio-economic changes taking place in modern Ukraine have determined new directions for the formation of professional competence of future teachers. The competitiveness of future specialists depends on the quality of their mastery of knowledge, the culture of communication, the ability to think and act in accordance with the requirements of the modern labor market. Institutions of higher education are designed to create conditions for the training of innovative specialists who possess transversal competences and are able to ensure personal transversality – a new historical form of universality within the global world society. The modern system of training students in institutions of higher education is one of the urgent problems of domestic education, it must meet updated requirements and ensure the appropriate level of readiness of future specialists for effective professional activity.
