Making a career choice is one of the most important choices a person can make in life. A successful career gives a possibility to be acknowledged in society, to occupy a certain social status. Therefore, a rational, consistent, conforming to abilities and interests career choice means not only professional behaviour development, but also a grounded attitude to other aspects of one’s own life. In nowadays society, rapidly changing the activity world, changes occurring in the labour market, the old professions disappearing and the new ones appearing, it becomes more and more problematic to choose a promising career, corresponding to the society and person’s individual needs. Career choice - is a continual, long-term process, in which career education process occupies an important place. Educational influence of career education upon the youth has significance for the whole life: choosing a profession, making important career decisions, seeking appropriate education, planning professional career, integrating in the labour market, realising their inner potential, going through professional success and fullness. Therefore, one has to look at a career education process as a systematic phenomenon, a complex of devices and activity directions covering the whole school’s educational activity and the whole personality development. A carried out scientific literature and document analysis and the conducted research results allow us to form a systematic attitude towards career education and to distinguish structural parts of career education system.

Choice of profession is a social phenomenon that every person has to face in life. Numerous studies convince us that not only the well-being of a person depends on the chosen work, but also his attitude to himself and life in general, therefore, the right and timely professional choice is very important. Research about factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions in Ukraine shows that self-determination is an important factor in the socialization of young person, and the factors that determine students' career choices become an actual problem of nowadays. The present study involved full-time and part-time students of Institute of Philology and Mass Communications of Open International University of Human Development "Ukraine" in order to examine the factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions (N=189). Diagnostic factors of career self-determination of students studying in the third and fourth year were carried out using the author's questionnaire. Processing of obtained data was carried out using the Excel 2010 program; factorial and comparative analysis were applied. Results of the study showed that initial stage of career self-determination falls down on the third and fourth studying year at the university, when an image of future career and career orientations begin to form. At the same time, the content of career self-determination in this period is contradictory and uncertain, therefore, the implementation of pedagogical support of this process among students is effective.
