Recently, secondary vocational education has been of particular interest to school graduates for the purpose of further admission to higher education, therefore, the question arises about the need for career guidance training for students enrolled in secondary vocational education programs for post-graduate training in bachelor’s/specialty programs. The basis for the implementation of career-oriented foreign language teaching can successfully be an integrated approach (subjectlanguage integrated learning), the effectiveness of which has been proven in research. The integrated approach has all the necessary principles that make it possible to implement this model in practice.
