modern vocational education is faced with the need to train specialists who are able to function effectively in a dynamically changing industrial and economic environment, which requires the formation of new competencies to ensure their competitiveness and adaptability. In response to these challenges, the integrated learning methodology has established itself as a key approach that forms the basis for training personnel who are ready to work in difficult production conditions and adapt quickly to changes. The essence of this methodology lies in the systematic combination of theoretical knowledge with practical skills, which provides a holistic view of professional activity and is confirmed by its special demand in technical specialties, especially in such complex areas as mining, processing and transportation of minerals, where coordination of many interrelated processes is critically important. The purpose of the research is to reveal the essence, methods and advantages of the integrated learning methodology in the context of vocational education, emphasizing its role in the development of systemic thinking and practical competencies of students. Materials and methods – the methodology is based on: multidisciplinary approach; practice-oriented approach; implementation of integrated projects based on real-world cases; active use of digital tools for modeling complex processes. Research results: integrated learning provides deep learning of theoretical knowledge and the formation of critically important practical skills, develops systematic and creative thinking, the ability to interdisciplinary analysis and solve complex problems. Conclusion: integrated training has proven to be effective as a key component of training specialists in the oil and gas industry, ensuring graduates meet modern labor market requirements and are resilient to its changes, despite the resource intensity of implementation.
