Abstract

Today there are serious difficulties in staffing of agricultural economy. The article analyzes the reasons for the decline in the level of staffing in this sphere. There are objective factors that are associated with the urbanization process at the global and regional levels. In Russia this is accompanied by the change in t social expectations of rural youth. At the same time, there is still a rather high need for staffing in specific sectors of agriculture. It is obvious that with the introduction of digital technologies and modern agrobiotechnologies, automation and robotization of agricultural sector, the list of specialties and competencies of agricultural workers will expand. The authors pay due attention to the problems of employment of graduates of agricultural universities. As an example of a positive solution to this problem, the issues of organizing employment of graduates of Kazan State Agrarian University (KSAU) are considered. The authors believe that the paper will be useful to the heads of agro-industrial complex and agricultural universities in the further development of theoretical and practical issues of agricultural sector staffing.
