The relevance of vocational guidance issue in the university is currently gaining in importance, this is due to the dynamically developing labor market and reforming of the higher education system in our country. The methods of vocational guidance work that are used for the most part need to be updated and optimized, due to the dynamically changing conditions of educational and professional environment. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the results of monitoring the effectiveness of vocational guidance activities that are implemented in the schools of Nizhnevartovsk city in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra today. On the basis of the data obtained, the article presents the project «Vocational guidance: a new look at old problems», which will be implemented in the context of situational management and will increase the effectiveness of vocational guidance work in the university. The study of the problem was carried out through an analysis of world science and practice achievements, as well as empirical and sociological research. The results of the studies clearly demonstrated that Nizhnevartovsk schools use mainly collective forms of vocational guidance work. As the results of the survey showed, for the most part, there is no individual psychological or pedagogical support for high school students when they choose the vector of professional self-determination. The proposed modular project «Vocational guidance: a new look at old problems» will solve a number of problems in vocational guidance work, increase its effectiveness, and will also contribute to the formation of leadership and teamwork skills. The materials of the article may be interesting for higher and general education teachers, as well as for all those who are interested in the problems of vocational guidance.
