The purpose of the article is to analyze existing business environment in the regions of the Russian Federation, as well as introduction of business environment into the education system.
In order to define the methodology of comprehensive assessment of the business environment and its introducing into education system, an online survey of representatives of regional Russian economic universities was conducted.
It is shown that the modern education system does not form the necessary skills to meet the requirements of the labor market. There is a significant difference in those factors that teachers, students, entrepreneurs consider important for entrepreneurial activities. Entrepreneurs put forward new requirements for the knowledge and skills of students; students often cannot decide what skills and knowledge are important to them, and teachers do not see the need for change.
The ability to use computer technologies and equipment, as well as the knowledge of foreign languages are gradually moving from the category of important features of a modern specialist to the category of instrumental skills. While the latter are necessary to the same extent as ordinary literacy. Besides, a modern system of education does not form so-called soft skills and hard-skills necessary for a modern business person. In the modern economy The following aspects are decisive: specialized knowledge and interdisciplinary ones, skills and abilities to acquire knowledge independently throughout life, systematic and strategic thinking, the ability to work with foreign partners and the like.
A scheme for the interaction of the business environment with the education system is proposed and also means of improving the communication of entrepreneurs and universities.
