It was conducted using methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, observation, survey, expert assessment, diagnostics, statistics. Results: the state of the scrutinized problem in modern educational practice and the degree of its scientific development are defined; the methodological and experimental research base is determined; the essence of the human-oriented approach as a theoretical and methodological directive for the development of human capital of a college student is revealed and interpreted; recommendations for its use are formulated. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the fact that for the first time the human-oriented approach has become the subject of scientific examination and interpretation in the context of the development of college students’ human capital; its main ideas, principles, resources, generalized image of effectiveness and diagnostic formats in this context have been identified. The theoretical significance of the research results represents a contribution to the theory of secondary vocational education with knowledge about this approach as the most adequate theoretical and methodological directive for the development of human capital of a college student in modern realities.
