Abstract
The article formulates the key aspects of the strategy for training highly qualified and in-demand professionals in the field of processing, storing and analyzing big data for a quick and high-quality solution to urgent problems of digital transformation and data-based management. The article analyzes the problems of modern full-time and distance learning and ways to overcome them using the innovative training data center "Virtual Computer Laboratory" (VCL), which incorporates the principles of self-organization and cybernetics 2.0. The author's team's view of the current requirements for basic knowledge and their harmonization with the professional standards of the APKIT association is presented, key development drivers are formulated, and potential risks are identified based on personal experience and in-depth analysis of the problems of modern IT education in the Russian Federation. The concept of a specialized training data center VCL is described, which made it possible to form a homogeneous educational environment with elements of cognitive representation of internal operational resources based on visual models and partial automation of basic technological operations using an expert system. The article also lists the key educational tasks focused on the formation of relevant core competencies, the successful solution of which became possible thanks to the developed methodology for using the VCL and its functional blocks. The possibilities of transition from traditional educational approaches to a new system-activity educational paradigm with the use of the "Virtual Computer Laboratory" data center are described.
