aspects, achieving the fullest possible employment of the rural population.
To solve these problems it is necessary to attract highly qualified specialists. They
should have the complex of theoretical and practical skills, knowledge and abilities.
Agricultural producers must be confident in the high level of graduates of higher
educational establishments of agrarian profile coming to work for them. To ensure
a balance between the demands of employers for graduates and state standards allows
the system of public accreditation of educational agricultural programs. The

training of specialists of higher education engaged in agriculture. For it 95 employers,
who are leaders of different levels in the agro-industrial complex, were interviewed
in 10 regions of Russia and Belarus by survey and interviewing methods.
Production standards benchmarks for the evaluation of the education quality is implemented
in the framework of mathematical models based on statistical data. The
agribusiness entities have given database for modeling through the peer review, the
results of mathematical calculations underlying the determination of professional competences of future specialists. The results of the research are the basis of the national Agency for Accreditation of Agricultural Programs activities, created with the participation of the authors.
