Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis and evaluation of the existing approaches to the system of retraining and development of middle level managers of mines and opencast mining sites of the region. Increase of the overall performance of coal industry enterprises requires a more advanced system of retraining of operational and managerial personnel. Based on the historical experience of professional training of previous years, we attempted to propose an approach to organizing the process of professional development that meets the requirements of the time. Tasks for improvement of professional skills and priority areas of training were identified based on analytical data of group questionnaires. A series of indepth interviews with top managers of coal enterprises made it possible to determine the existing level of training; the content analysis of documents was used to study the content of programs, forms and methods of training; a survey was conducted to determine the level of critical knowledge of employees who received training over the past year.
