The study is based on the use of methods of theoretical analysis, systematization, generalization of scientific and pedagogical literature on the topic of research, modeling. In the course of the study, the significance of the mentor’s psychological and pedagogical competence for vocational education system was shown, the content of its motivational-value, cognitive, process-activity, and reflective-analytical components that determine the effectiveness of the implementation of productive mentoring in the context of digitalization. A structural model of scientific and methodological support for the training of mentors for vocational education system in the context of digitalization is proposed.
