Abstract

Relevance. At an important stage in Ukraine’s foreign and domestic policy, the country is actively seeking its place in the international community and building new European relations. In this context, it is vital to implement state policies for training public servants, enhance pledges of higher education (PHE), and improve collaboration between PHE institutions and territorial communities (TC).

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to develop a system for improving the training of public servants in the context of organizing the educational process, as a guarantee of the development of TC in the process of interaction with PHE.

Methodology. The experimental research methodology involves developing a training system for public servants in PHE, assessing their readiness for professional activities, and identifying interaction methods between TC and PHE. Empirical methods include observation, surveys, diagnostic conversations, questioning, and experiments. Mathematical statistics methods are used to process final indicators of public servants' readiness, ensuring sustainable development of territorial communities through their interaction with higher education institutions.

Results. The study defined the concepts of “public administration”, “competence of public servants”, and “training of public servants”, and identified promising directions for improving public servant training. After conducting an experimental study, promising directions for improving the training of public servants for the introduction of professional activities were formed, as conditions for the sustainable development of TC in the process of interaction with PHE.

Conclusions. It was found that public servants' training, professional competencies, and standards were at low to medium levels. This highlights the need for pedagogical conditions to improve readiness, including quality training systems, retraining, specialization, qualification improvement, and self-education activities. The practical value of the work lies in the training of a highly qualified specialist capable of realizing the professional potential for the benefit of the state.
