The conscious choice of future occupation by students is one of the most important goals of general secondary education. Professions of ecological profi le have the important social implications, which are to further increase in the future. Meanwhile, this area of professional activity is hardly any popular among the young people. The paper features the innovative environmental professions, identifi ed based on foresights of the Russian and foreign experts. Presented are the results of surveying the 9th–the 11th grades students concerning their choice of the future professional activity area and the future work location, as well as the importance of ecological occupations for the national economy and the degree of the students’ readiness to master such professions. It was found, that the certain percentage of students (both boys and girls) are interested to get environmental-related professions. However, it is very desirable, that ecology and environment-related professions would be well paid, and, most importantly, satisfy the students’ personal interests and inclinations.

Одним из важнейших результатов общего среднего образования является осознанный выбор будущей профессии [1]. Еще совсем недавно профессии экологического профиля: рабочие (например, лаборантэколог, аппаратчик-оператор экологических установок), техники (техник по защите окружающей среды, охране окружающей среды и рациональному использованию природных ресурсов, мелиорации, рекультивации и охране земель, радиационной безопасности), специалисты [специалист по охране окружающей среды, специалист инспекции государственного экологического контроля и анализа, инспектор по охране природы, инженер по охране окружающей среды (эколог)] — казались новыми [2]. Однако жизнь не стоит на месте. Система образования и рынок труда должны реагировать на современные достижения науки и техники, а также запросы общества и государства.
