Institutionalization of the corporate university in the regional management system: mission and strategic priorities (using the example of the Government of the Tula region)

Introduction. Improving the efficiency of regional authorities, local governments, and subordinate enterprises, organizations, and institutions directly depends on the quality of work performed by employees of these bodies. The components of a possible management system for the development of competencies of representatives of the public sector are not always united by a single coordination center. A specialized coordinating structure can act as a system element ensuring the integrity of the processes under consideration. Its function is to organize interaction between interested public authorities and local governments aimed at coordinating their activities with current challenges, strategic priorities and tasks of socio-economic development.

Purpose. To propose the form of organization, goal-setting, semantic content and principles of the corporate university of the regional government.

Materials and methods. The method of information analysis was used during the research. The relevant documents regulating the activities of individual regional structures performing the functions of training and developing employees of public sector organizations were studied. In addition, methodological materials prepared during the strategic session "The Russian Model of the Competence Development Center for State and Municipal Employees", held at the Senezh Management Workshop with the participation of representatives of 23 subjects of the Russian Federation, were used.

Results. The article presents the results of the author's research work on the creation and functioning of regional corporate universities to ensure the improvement of the quality of activities of employees of public authorities. Possible organizational and legal forms are analyzed, goals and objectives, rights and obligations, subject matter and types of activities are formulated. The directions of the educational activity of this organization are also formulated, including the need to fully implement additional professional training programs for state and municipal employees, as well as the use of a network form of educational programs.

Conclusions. An effective way to organize a corporate university of a regional government can be such an organizational and legal form as a state autonomous educational institution of additional professional education. The methodology of work, goal setting and semantic content of the activities of the corporate university of the regional government are proposed.
