The article examines the role of individual educational trajectories in the formation of professional competencies of future socionomic specialists in the context of transformations in the higher education system. It is substantiated that the transition to a competency-based approach changes the logic of the educational process, focusing it on the development of the ability to act, make decisions, and adapt to conditions of uncertainty. The key groups of competencies necessary for effective professional activity are systematized, including social, intercultural, communicative, socio-informational, and cognitive competencies.
The essence of the individual educational trajectory is defined as a personalized pathway for student development, and its structural components are characterized, namely content, activity, and organizational dimensions. The mechanisms for implementing individual educational trajectories in higher education are analyzed, particularly through elective courses, individual study plans, academic mobility, and practical training.
It is proved that individual educational trajectories contribute to the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, the formation of professional readiness, and the enhancement of the competitiveness of future specialists. It is substantiated that their implementation is a necessary condition for the modernization of higher education and the transition to a student-centered learning model.
