This problem is complex and requires, in particular, measures aimed at developing the vocational education system in Russia's regions. The federal project "Professionality" represents an important element of state policy for the development of the vocational education system, aimed at meeting the current and future needs of the labor market for highly qualified specialists. The purpose of this article is to analyze the implementation of the "Professionalism" project in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug as an example of adapting federal educational policy to Arctic realities and to assess its impact on the transformation of the vocational education system. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of the federal "Professionalism" project in the vocational education system of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The mechanisms for integrating educational institutions with enterprises in the real sector of the economy are examined, and the performance indicators of the created educational and industrial clusters are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the project's regulatory framework, personnel and infrastructure reforms, and the assessment of target achievement in the context of addressing regional development challenges. Further improvement of the "Professionalism" project requires the development of specific measures to increase student and employer engagement, expand the range of training profiles, and implement digital competency assessment tools.
