Increasing university students' organizational skills during practical application of event management technologies in organizing events

Socio-cultural events are currently gaining increasing relevance and the problem of their organization is becoming urgent both for commercial companies and professionals in this sphere. Today, event management is becoming the leading technology for the organization of events and, notwithstanding the importance of the mastery of theoretical knowledge, only the practical implementation of event management technologies in event organization serves as a prerequisite for the development of organizational skills in professionals in the socio-cultural sphere. The conducted experimental work reveals a major discrepancy in the level of university students' mastery of organizational skills in the process of theoretical and practical training and proves the effectiveness of the latter in the development of professional mastery of socio-cultural workers. The reasons underlying the development of socio-cultural workers' organizational skills specifically in the course of practical mastery of event management technologies are identified and comprise contingency on multiple factors, the variability of the socio-cultural situation, and high competition in the market of socio-cultural services.
