The relevance of the study lies in identifying modern and effective tools for the formation and development of entrepreneurial competencies in the informal education system, which is extremely relevant and in demand not only among higher education students, but also among specialists in various fields of activity. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal tools of informal education for the effective development of entrepreneurial competencies of both students and specialists in modern conditions. The basic entrepreneurial competencies necessary for a specialist to create, develop and manage a business are highlighted, and the main differences between employees with entrepreneurial competencies and employees without them are pointed out. The study summarizes the main directions in the field of informal education for the formation of entrepreneurial thinking, culture, skills, entrepreneurship support institutions, as well as the main online platforms for learning. It is substantiated that entrepreneurship education is strengthened in terms of innovation, technology transfer and business creation both at enterprises and in higher educational institutions. The findings confirm that businesses are either hiring professionals with entrepreneurial competencies or investing in training programs to help develop competencies of existing employees, and are increasingly using informal education tools in conjunction with formal training.

The article contains scientific argumentation of social and labor development of the first half of the 21ST century, which is increasingly acquiring features of instability and human(non)centricity. The quintessence of the presented theoretical and applied discourse is the substantiation of the need to overcome economic centrism, increase the role and importance of uneconomic factors of sustainable social progress in ensuring balanced social and labor development in the new socio-economic reality; The authors' construct of moral, ethical, spiritual, cultural dimension of competitive advantages in the context of dialectical unity of the economic and non-economic. The article is aimed at promoting a fundamental rethinking of the philosophy of sustainable social and labor development, which is centered on the priority of attitudes, values, beliefs of a moral, spiritual, ethical, solidarity, socially responsible, socio-cultural nature, which are conventionally called uneconomic and should become the leading pillars of the new digital world of economy and the world of the people themselves. The methodological research platform is an organic combination of systemic and interdisciplinary approaches using general scientific and special research methods. The worldview failures in understanding the non-economic aspects of human life in digital age are highlighted; the emphasis is placed on the distorted view of the role, place, and mission of the non-economic in ensuring sustainable development. The necessity of using a new conceptology, a new development strategy based on the principles of human-centrism is substantiated; the potential of solidarity and consolidation in network forms of interaction between subjects of social relations is proven. The range of phenomena and processes that act as "clots" on the way to sustainable social and labor development based on trust, inclusion, cohesion, solidarity, consolidation, responsibility, culture in its broadest sense is outlined, and, on the contrary, the factors that increase the role of the non-economic in ensuring sustainable social and labor development and overcoming the deepest crisis of our time are identified. The authors argue that the "new science", the new economic theory of social progress, facilitated by published foundations, must offer a different philosophy, different principles, and drivers of sustainable social and labor development, which are almost the exact opposite of the dominant postulates of growth, which is often not accompanied by development.

“Green” human resource management is a strategic approach that recognizes the relationship between environmental sustainability and human resources. This can lead to numerous benefits, including cost savings, improved employee engagement, and long-term organizational sustainability. The article examines the methodological foundations of human resource management in the context of implementing the green office concept. The purpose of the study is to identify the components of the conceptual model for implementing the policy of “green” human resource management at enterprises. The basic procedures of “green” human resource management are researched. It is identified that environmentally oriented HR initiatives can be considered as an organizational mechanism aimed at ensuring that employees behave in a “green” way. It is proved that “green” human resource management plays an important role in shaping the environmental values of employees and improving their environmental behaviour, contributing to the formation of the need to create answers to sustainable development issues in the human resource management systems of organizations. A promising direction for further research is the scientific substantiation of the list of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of the “green” policy of an enterprise in terms of personnel management.

The relevance of the topic of this article is determined by the fact that the modern historical period of the development of the Ukrainian state and society requires fundamentally new approaches to the organization of the state administration system, which should consolidate Ukrainian society, fully utilizing the potential of the Ukrainian people in the fight against the aggressor. Creating such a system requires full feedback between society and the state, which can be organized by an effectively working system monitoring the state of public administration. The effectiveness of administrative reforms in the country and the transformation of Ukraine into a modern European-type state will depend on the extent to which this system will meet the real problems of the state's social, political, and economic development. The purpose of the article is to understand the monitoring principles of the formation of the system of public administration in Ukraine and to develop a system of indicators that characterize the state of public administration, taking into account the problems and challenges currently facing the Ukrainian state and society. This article explores the public administration system as a state governance tool, ensuring communication and interaction between society and the state. It also studies the possibilities of monitoring the state of public administration on the basis of defined criteria relevant to the modern stage of state formation. The methodological basis of the study was a systemic and evolutionary approach, which made it possible to consider the problem of public administration in terms of the transformation of public administration into a management model, identifying its characteristic features, and investigating the dialectical connection and opposition of two systems of public management - public-administrative and public- liberal, offering a system of indicators relevant for Ukraine that characterize this model. Accordingly, the work used the methods of comparison and decomposition of the management model to develop indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the public management system As a result, a system of indicators was formed that makes it possible to monitor the system of public administration in Ukraine, which creates conditions for organizing feedback between the state and society.
