It is considered the problems of self-actualization and professional identity treated as a basis for human capital development. It has been proven that a methodological foundation of a theoretical analysis of personality self-actualization in professional life is formed based on the subjective and pragmatic, personality developing and acmeological approaches. It is stressed the importance of using the occupational prestige monitoring results (based on Traiman’s International Occupational Prestige Scale) in scientifically substantiated forecast of labour market changes and forward-looking modernization of the vocational training system. An emphasis is placed on the importance of the Ukrainian scholars’ works (S. Goncharenko, I. Ziaziun, G. Kostiuk, V. Kremen, S. Maksymenko, V. Moliako, D. D. Thorzhevskiy) for implementation of the forwardlooking approach in vocational training modernization. It is made the original recommendations for the state policy on this issue at the nationwide, regional, field and academic research levels.
