Social partnership in the formation of students’ professional and work experience

The paper reveals the theoretical and methodological foundations of social partnership in the system of higher education, focusing on its role in the formation of professional and work experience of students of a technical university. The key areas of social interaction (educational, practice-oriented, personnel development and research) and partnership models (contract, cluster, corporate, «triple helix») are considered, ensuring effective integration of the educational process with the production sphere of engineering training. The practice of social partnership of the Faculty of Rocket and Space Technology of Bauman Moscow State Technical University and RSCE Energia is described, where a hybrid model is implemented as maximally adapted to the requirements of the high-tech industry, ensuring the integration of professional training with research and production activities. It was revealed that the greatest effect in the formation of a student’s professional and work experience is achieved through the implementation of long-term forms of social partnership, taking into account the interests of all parties and a multi-level structure of interaction.
