CONTENTIVE CHARACTERISTICS AND UPDATED COMPETITIVENESS CONSTRUCTS FOR FUTURE SPECIALISTSThe modern world is rapidly changing under the influence of geopolitical and socio-economic transformations, which requires a new perspective on the competitiveness of future specialists who can effectively function in the context of increasing technical achievements, the introduction of breakthrough technologies and digital innovations in all areas of life, and the complexity of implementing updated social and labor relations.
