Purpose: A teacher of a vocational school should rationally use such teaching methods that would ensure the training of qualified personnel competitive in the labor market. Methodology: Educational institutions to meet the requirements of the market economy in the provision of educational services should be guided by a generalized model of a competitive specialist. The technology of development of the model includes the formation of components of professional activity (analysis of professional activity, identification of basic labor functions and professional skills) and training. Result: The assessment of theoretical professional training of students was carried out by testing with the use of PC in the main academic disciplines in two specialties. The assessment of theoretical professional training of students was based on the methodology proposed by A. A. Leonovich. Based on the assessment of knowledge in the five main academic disciplines, a generalized coefficient of theoretical training was calculated. Personal and business qualities necessary for a modern person in the conditions of market relations were evaluated by a number of psychological tests. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of the use of simulation methods of vocational education is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.

Training specialists in social and economic areas should be regarded as a key priority. It is crucial to endow students of relevant specialties with basic mathematical knowledge and skills, to help these people fulfill their professional functions and use the main data sources, along with various mathematical methods, which can be efficiently used within economics and sociology
