The authors analyze key assessment models, including formative assessment, and methods such as case studies, exams with employer involvement, and the use of artificial intelligence for skills analysis. The study underscores the critical importance of feedback and the need for assessment procedures to adapt to modern labor market demands. Based on an analysis of international and domestic experience, the article proposes recommendations for enhancing assessment effectiveness, which include developing digital platforms and interdisciplinary assessment complexes. Furthermore, the study synthesizes experience in implementing effective tools for assessing student professional
skills, ranging from traditional exams to real-world projects with employers. The article describes criteria for developing assessment tasks and specifics of applying grading rubrics. The materials presented will be of interest to educators and administrators in higher education institutions.
