Based on the trends in social and economic spheres of public life, in particular – the education sphere and taking into account the specifics of the Russian coal industry enterprises, in this article the authors attempt to theoretically understand the training of personnel of coal enterprises. It is shown in the study that the essence of the principles of socially responsible behavior has ancient roots, while the consumer's attitude towards nature begins only in the era of Modern age. A critical analysis of continuing professional education, which in theory is the most practice-oriented to the needs of the market, is presented. Discrepancies with the world practice of personnel training in accordance with the requirements of enterprises are revealed. The difficulties accompanying the process of training the personnel of the coal industry enterprises are indicated. The authors also cite suggestions and recommendations regarding the training of personnel employed in the coal industry taking into account a multitude of factors noted in the study.
