Abstract: The staff shortage is becoming increasingly acute. In some regions, the number of open vacancies is several times higher than the amount of submitted resumes from applicants. All this makes it necessary to organize system work in the sphere of employment. Obviously, it is essential to ensure medium- and long-term planning of the staffing requirement in the regional and sectoral context. Currently, Russian experts are only working out unified approaches to making forecasts of the labor market needs for qualified specialists and workers. Development of a unified method of forecasting will make it possible to reduce labour market disbalance in the future, to generate admission control figures for certain specializations more reasonably. Interaction with students and young specialists in the context of staff shortage makes companies search for new forms of cooperation with higher educational institutions. The authors of the article present their own classification of the existing forms of employeruniversity cooperation in the sphere of employment. Three groups are identified as regular forms (dual Master’s degree, targeted training, etc.), irregular forms (virtual internships, field trips, case studies, design and analysis sessions, etc.) and platforms aimed at facilitation of employment. The authors reveal the peculiar features of each presented group and adduce the results of a survey on the topic of employment conducted among the employers, they also study the impact of the artificial intelligence on the labour market.
