Abstract
The article presents prerequisites for the transformation of the personnel potential at housing and utility service providing enterprises due to organizational, technical and technological changes in the industry associated with the saturation of capital construction facilities with modern high-tech equipment and intelligent systems.
The author emphasizes that the evolution of professions is much faster against this background. The requirements for an employee are shifted from the field of performance of functional duties to achieving the final result that the person seeks to achieve.
The present-day labour market will require employees to be guided by a new concept based on the principles of “lifelong learning”. There will no longer be one profession for the lifetime – one will have to constantly adapt to changes in the labour market. The ability of an employee to adapt to the needs of the labour market and expand one’s competencies becomes more important than the specialty.
Advanced technologies, equipment and methods of control and management become the property of housing and utilities service provision facilities in the process of their creation or renovation (modernization, reconstruction, capital repair), implemented and financed in accordance with federal, regional, municipal or corporate plans and programmes based on approved projects.
In turn, the introduction of intelligent technologies in housing and utility services leads not only to the emergence of new and the loss of unclaimed industry professions, but also to the emergence of “hybrid” professions, which may entail a combination of diverse, traditionally “incompatible” skills and abilities.
The “key” to solving the problem of adapting current qualifications in the labour market to the requirements dictated by the technological revolution is the implementation of the directions of the National Qualifications System, the main elements of which are the introduction of professional standards in the field of labour and education.
