ABSTRACT

The article is devoted to the study of the role of educational programs in promoting the development of solidarity economy and cooperative organizations. The authors have reviewed the scientific literature that touches upon the problem of educational products creation for the needs of solidarity economy organizations. A historical retrospective of the early 19th century cooperative courses in Russia is provided. Based on survey results, the authors determine specific issues: the deficit of qualified personnel in the local cooperative enterprises and the lack of specialized educational programs for cooperation. The authors consider the contents of foreign training courses in the sphere of solidarity economy and cooperation. The recommendations for educational institutions and management bodies as well as public organizations to improve the training of personnel in solidarity economy and cooperation are presented.
