Abstract

Drawing on Ukrainian and international experience from 2020 to 2024, the paper explores the unique aspects of professional training for administrative professionals in the field of education. It emphasizes how the Bologna Process and international exchange programs are being used to integrate the Ukrainian educational system into the European educational landscape. Particular attention is paid to how the war has affected the evolution of management training programs in Ukraine. There is discussion of the challenges of integrating psychological training with security measures and modifying courses for crisis situations. The post-war era's potential for creating personnel training based on overseas experience is investigated. It is recommended that foreign methods be used to restore educational facilities and foster professional proficiency. The importance of digitization and new technologies in training contemporary managers is examined in this research. It is shown how beneficial international educational cooperation is for raising the caliber of management courses offered in Ukraine.
