DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGERIAL COMPETENCIES OF GRADUATES AND STUDENTS OF ECONOMIC UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

The article examines the problem of developing managerial competencies among graduates and students of economic universities in the context of modern labor market requirements and globalization processes. Particular attention is paid to the structure of managerial competencies, which include strategic thinking, leadership skills, decision-making, communication, adaptability, and the ability to work in a digital environment. The study highlights the role of higher education institutions in shaping these competencies through the integration of practice-oriented training, innovative teaching methods, and collaboration with employers. The article also analyzes current challenges faced by universities in preparing competitive specialists, such as the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills, as well as the need for continuous updating of curricula. The results demonstrate that systematic development of managerial competencies contributes not only to the personal growth of students and graduates, but also to the improvement of organizational efficiency and the competitiveness of the national economy.
