Import substitution - a process at the level of the national economy, which is provided at the release of the necessary domestic consumer goods manufacturers forces, leading activities in the country. At present, Russian farmers have an incentive to carry out a largescale import substitution because of the food embargo on the West European suppliers of agricultural products. An important problem that accompanies the processes of import substitution in Russia is the lack of qualified personnel in a number of industries, as a prerequisite for the growth of agricultural production in Russia is full staffing agriculture. The article has identified the causes of insufficient practical training of graduates of agricultural universities. The role of Kuban State Agrarian University in the personnel matters of the village. Grounded following directions of improvement of training: the formation of the federal and regional forecasts provide human resources for the future of the village; the creation of organizations and municipalities comfortable social environment for young professionals; promotion of public – private partnership for the training of personnel for rural areas; improving infrastructure to support the system of financing higher education institutions; protection of the region's interest in defending the rights of agrarian university on training for other sectors of the economy in rural areas, except for agricultural commodity production; empowerment of the target form of training specialists; allocation of resources (possibly in the form of grants) to prepare doctors to foreign training, access to foreign sources of scientific information, cooperation of universities to gain access to the Web of Science and Scopus' resources

The state of milk production of companies in Russia and the Krasnodar region is analyzed. Reserves of increase of economic efficiency of the investigated industry on the basis of intensification of production and technological processes are revealed. Determinants of the promising directions of improving the milk production and processing with the use of resource-saving technologies in milk processing enterprises and agricultural farms in the region are assessed. Results of evaluation of the effectiveness and risk of investment are provided to the organization of vertically integrated complex, which is oriented to industrial on-farm processing of milk and production of compound feed for dairy cattle, allows to increase profitability due to use of the balanced food supply and also development of new technologies. The model of definition of economic effect and the required investments for technological equipment of milk processing units, which function as a part of the structure of the industry, depending on production volumes of dairy products is offered. Feasibility of the organization of farm industrial milk processing on the example of agricultural organizations of the Krasnodar region in the conditions of a competition in the regional agricultural food market and significant disparity of the prices is proved. Improving the interrelationship between the chain of "production – processing – realization" allows producers to react to external competition quickly and to create and implement strategic decisions for the best use of available resources

The rapid pace of global scientific and technological progress, which is the main engine of the economy, demands for higher education, the purpose of which is to prepare highly educated specialists – the intellectual potential of Russia. It is known, that technical and technological skills play an important role in scientific and technical progress; ultimately, the economic development of the country and the welfare of the population depends on it. The selection by the criterion of professional suitability is the basis for building a decent contingent of firstyear students of technical universities. The article describes the disadvantages of the known and the new method of selection, by qualifications, based on the evaluation of the implementation of the students tests on topics studied disciplines close to engineering. The article reveals content of the main stages of pre-University training in secondary educational institutions. The proposed method of selection based on professional suitability, and the system of training of contingent in secondary schools and colleges, created on the basis of higher educational institutions, will significantly improve the quality of training of specialists of technical and technological directions for universities

An important question is increasing objectivity in evaluation of current and residual knowledge of students on the subjects. Based on these assessments, teachers will adjust the work program and calendarthematic plan on discipline, forms and methods of teaching in order to ensure a high level of knowledge, allowing making necessary competence and skills of future specialists. The article proposes the evaluation system of students ' knowledge and determines their rankings, taking into account the qualifications of the teachers who taught their classes. Knowledge assessment might be defined as just one discipline, or as all the across disciplines for a semester, academic year and study period. The knowledge of students on discipline is estimated on the results of the test tasks based on current estimates obtained in a semester, and examination grades. We have reviewed the quality assessment system of students ' knowledge and determined their rating; it will increase the credibility of the evaluation. In addition, it increases the effectiveness of the educational process, since the evaluation of students ' knowledge and skills of teachers, will help heads of departments and deans to make decisions about the professional development of teachers, showed poor results

In the article we consider the technique of evaluating the performance of the faculty and the department for educational, methodical, scientific research and the development of material and technical base
