Educational strategies of IT students in the context of labor market demands
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of the influence of the labor market on the educational strategies of future IT-specialists during their studies at the university. In the modern labor market, IT specialists are most in demand, so employers offer jobs to students and thereby increase the risks of their expulsion and failure to obtain a professional diploma. An educational organization in this situation bears financial risks to the state associated with the incomplete release of the planned number of specialists. Students, on the other hand, face the choice of solving financial problems in the present or getting a higher paying job in the future after graduation. The conclusions of the article are based on the results of a survey of IT students from one of the leading universities in Omsk (N=566, 2019). In accordance with the author's definition of an educational strategy, four educational strategies of students are identified. A risk group with a problematic strategy "work is more important than study" is described. The reasons for choosing such a strategy are revealed. At the end of the article, conclusions and recommendations are presented for resolving the conflict of interests of universities, the long-term interests of future IT specialists and the labor market
