Overall standardization

! Development of professional standards should be viewed as certain professional standardization that is only beginning in Russia. The standardization is aimed at creating a model of employees’ competency level in fulfilling specific industry-related tasks. An important trend in the modern process of standardization is acceleration of standardization rates in various types of human activities and integration of all standards into a single system for the contemporary information society.

When professional standards are implemented at enterprises the employees are allowed to assess their professionalism and advance it. If it is necessary they will be given an opportunity to advance their qualification thus laying a ground for further professional growth.

Employers in the Russian fishery industry will obtain more precise criteria for assessment of their personnel and will be able to advance their professional level, improve their occupational motivation and thus give them favorable conditions to uphold work productivity. Besides, this way employers will be able to control their employees’ professional level taking into account renewed educational standards in various areas and developed certification systems which will serve as an additional guarantee of an employee’s competency.

Government of the Russian Federation strengthens positions of employment legislation

Federal statute No. 232- ФЗdated October 24, 2007 has been enacted. This statute endorsed two-level higher professional education (bachelor’s and master’s degrees).

Reformation of higher education in Russia is related to breakaway from rigid specialization of students at higher education institutions. Now they will receive basic training during 4 years (bachelor’s) and later select specialization independently and adopt to requirements of organizations where they want to work.

! A notion of labor function includes work under a certain profession, specialization, qualification. Nevertheless, recognition of a bachelor’s degree within the framework of Russian regulatory documents that govern employment relations has not been fixed yet. It concerns the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, model regulations and position instructions. Neither of them provide for personnel with such qualification.

Further difficultiesLet us remind that Russian National Classifier of Occupations of Employees, Positions of Civil Servants and Wage Categories (COEPCSWC) does not provide for bachelor’s or takes this degree into account. The Classifier is an integral part of Unified System of Information Classification and Codes (USICC) of the Russian Federation. It was prepared as part of state program for adoption by the Russian Federation of internationally accepted system of records and statistics compliant with requirements of market economy development.

! Classifier is intended to solve issues related to estimation of number of laborers and officers, taking into account composition and distribution of personnel by category, level of mechanization, work conditions and qualification.

This way after an individual earns a degree attested with a respective document of education, the individual is considered as being properly qualified for performing the work in accordance with the degree he / she earned in a certain industry. In fact adoption of bachelor’s degree in Russia vests educational institutions with additional tasks and obligations to help the graduates achieve the level necessary to work in certain business segment, under specific industrial conditions and at the specific managerial level within a specific industry.

Ways to solve the problems Before December 2012 two important notions were missing from legislation of the Russian Federation:- Professional standard;- Qualification.

Federal statute dated December 3, 2012 No. 236- ФЗ “On amending Labor Code of the Russian Federation and art. 1 of Federal Statute “On technical regulation”, art. 31 of Labor Code of the Russian Federation was appended with art. 1951 that introduced definitions of a “professional standard” and “qualification” into employment legislation for the first time, though the term “qualification” was widely used in the current Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Art. 2 (p. 5) of Federal statute dated December 29, 2012 No. 273- ФЗ “On education in the Russian Federation” (came into force on September 1, 2013) defines qualification as “level of knowledge, skills and competency that characterizes readiness to perform certain work”, i.e. offers a more detailed and explicit definition.

The process has commencedProcess of developing professional standards has commenced in Russia. The professional standards must shape industry-specific frameworks for various qualifications of employees per type of economic activity.
