Abstract: This paper discusses issues related to the coordination of actions between universities and employers. Despite their interdependence in the process of preparing qualified personnel, the primary instrument of interaction remains observation, which typically does not involve the integration of interaction subjects and maintains sporadic communication during the implementation of educational programs. Enhancing the effectiveness of interaction between universities and businesses requires a corresponding tool for direct coordination of actions. The aim of this study is to develop a tool for assessing the systemic balance of the educational program curriculum to shape the competencies required by businesses. Achieving this goal required solving the following tasks: 1) to localize the mechanisms of coordination between universities and analyze approaches to their implementation; 2) to develop an algorithm for calculating the index of systemic balance of the curriculum; 3) to test the algorithm on real data and propose scenarios for improving educational programs. The ecosystem theory of G. B. Kleiner was adopted as the methodological basis. Among the main results of the study is the development of an algorithm for calculating the index of systemic balance of curricula based on a corresponding metric model. Data-centric improvement of curricula in the context of ecosystem theory allows for a rational combination of fundamental and practical training, ensures interdisciplinary solutions to professional tasks, flexibility in applying competencies for the benefit of innovative business and regional economic development, technological and personnel sovereignty of the country.
