Methodology for quantitative assessment of competencies of higher education graduates based of a competence approach

Research Methodology. 
In order to form a skill, it is necessary to acquire 
knowledge that has to be worked out in practice. Knowledge is information that we 
receive from various sources of information and remember for ourselves. An attempt 
to apply knowledge in practice gives the first unexperienced experience, which is a 
skill. 
As for the skill, it will be formed when the skill comes to automatism. There is a 
so-called "core" of common skills, at the center of which are "Basic skills" used in 
any activity in the modern world, for example, the ability to read, write and count. 
All modern people, regardless of the world of work, possess such skills, but 
today this is no longer enough. 
So, let us single out a number of "basic skills" and the so-called competencies of 
university graduates that will be in demand in any field of human activity in the 
context of the globalization of the labor market (Table 1).

1 
Concentration and 
attention management 
They help to cope with information 
overload and manage complex 
equipment. 
2 
Emotional literacy. 
Helps to preserve oneself and interact 
with others through emotion, 
empathy and empathy. What is 
nonviolent communication and how 
to use it 
3 
Digital literacy. 
Helps to work in a digital 
environment. Digital literacy will be 
just as important as writing and 
reading skills.

Creativity 
It helps to think outside the box, to 
create something new in the 
conditions of automation of routine 
work. 
5 
Learning ability / 
Self-study (skill). 
Helps you learn throughout life and 
independently master skills in a 
rapidly changing world.

Cross functionality 
Ability to work at the junction of two 
or more areas. Helps to be out of 
competition in the labor market. 
The traditional utilitarian industrial educational paradigm covered the population with 
education to prepare for the future life, and the modern integral paradigm, the 
transition to which we will not bypass, presupposes the education of people 
throughout their life - this is a continuous paradigm. In addition, it makes no sense to 
expand educational programs at the university, including more and more knowledge, 
skills and abilities. Because, most of the skills of specialists in a "complex" 
workplace are unique highly specialized skills. They are used by one or more 
employees in each enterprise or in the entire industry.
Due to current trends, employers have revised the requirements for applicants, 
the demand for cross-functional specialists has increased
. 
A cross-functional 
specialist develops a career along a path that either no one has followed before, or a 
very limited number of people have followed. Therefore, it is important to plan your 
career and develop professional competencies around related areas in order to be out 
of competition. To do this, you need to determine what competencies to develop, for 
what purpose and thanks to what resources. Careful planning of your career will 
allow you to stand out in the labor market, qualify for a high level of income and 
avoid emotional burnout. To quantitatively assess the quality of professional 
competencies acquired by a graduate of a higher educational institution, you can use 
the methodology of qualimetry (from the Latin "qualis" - what quality and the Greek 
"metreo" - to measure, measure) - a scientific discipline in which the methodology 
and problems of complex, quantitative assessment are studied the quality of objects 
of any nature: animate or inanimate, objects or processes, products of labor or
