AB  - This study was written by the authors as part of a grant project of the Ministry of Education and
Science of RK "Psycho-pedagogical bases for formation of competence of the today youth for professional
identity in the context of globalization." This study presents contemporary and classical understanding of
professional identity which is seen not only as a specific choice of profession but as a continuous process of
finding meaning, developing and accomplishing the selected professional activities. The study presents the
results of interviews with students in Almaty conducted in order to study their professional intentions. The
percentages of professional intentions are presented below which prove that the most popular professions in
Almaty today are Estimating Engineers, Design Engineers and doctors of different specializations, nursery
teachers, middle and low ranking health workers, teachers, accountants, cleaners of industrial premises,
maintenance workers and others. This is confirmed by the number of vacancies according to different web sites.
Peculiarities of professional intentions from regular schools, present the general trends in the development of
modern youth professional identity. The authors are convinced that before supporting a young person in
professional identity, it is necessary to realize the purpose and meaning of support, understand the prospects
and limitations of the individual, depending on the choice of profession and further professional training. One
of these conditions, in the opinion of the researchers must be an educational process that focuses on the
development of readiness for personal and professional identity.
