The issues related to the professional training of higher education students from the People's Republic of China for professional self-realization in market conditions are examined. The relevance and significance of the research on the professional training of Chinese higher education students for self-realization іn market conditions is driven by the need to address the contradiction between current demands for professional training and the actual state of students' readiness for professional self-realization. Modern professionals must be able to work effectively both within their own country and in the global international arena, possessing the knowledge, skills, and competencies relevant to their chosen profession and actively contributing to the development of the modern labor market. The labor market occupies a central position among other markets. It is primarily composed of two key actors: employers and employees. The latter offer their labor in exchange for remuneration, while employers create demand for labor and provide payment. Thus, like any other market, the labor market is characterized by supply, demand, and price in the form of wages. In a market economy, the labor market represents the market of hired labor, where both employers and employees are legally equal parties. Accordingly, the professional training of higher education students in China for self-realization іn market conditions is one of the most important and pressing educational challenges.
Achieving the objective of this research involved developing a comprehensive research framework and applying appropriate methods, including the analysis of scientific literature, legal and regulatory frameworks, educational and professional training programs, examination of the scientific, organizational, and methodological support for the training process, as well as conducting interviews with students and academic staff at Chinese higher education institutions. The research found that students have insufficient awareness of the essence and content of their professional training for self-realization іn market conditions, which is essential for future professional activities. Furthermore, they demonstrate a low level of understanding regarding the structural components of such training, which may negatively impact both the quality of higher education and their future professional activities
