The first stage is considered to be pre-professional training, the main purpose of which is the professional self-determination of the individual, the formation of the attitude towards a certain profession, and the realization of the person’s conscious choice of his/her professional activity. This is the process of forming the individual’s attitude towards himself/herself as a subject of future professional activity, which in a long period of time will help a person adapt to life as a whole. Pre-professional training is interpreted as the preparation of the polytechnic and professional character of students, as a basic component of their further professional training. Conclusions. Thus, professional formation is a process, which has the aim of the development and the formation of the personality of a future specialist as a subject of professional education and activity. We proved, that the subjective qualities of a specialist are mainly determined by his/her subjective position, which should be defined as a kind of integration of the dominant sovereign qualities of a professional, which are decisive in any significant professional issues or problems for a specialist. The subjective position of a specialist is a basic, a dominant component in the professional model of personality’s formation, a fundamental characteristic of his/her behavior in the profession. Subjectivity presupposes, first of all, the formation of worldview guidelines, moral and valuable qualities of the individual, which determine not only the active position of the professional, but also the worldview orientations of the specialist.
