The article is devoted to identifying the main problems associated with the lack of young and qualified personnel in the agricultural sector of the economy. This includes financial, household and other problems of the rural areas and population, which reduces the prestige of agricultural jobs for young people, causes reluctance to get education related to agriculture, and after graduation to work in agricultural production. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to change the system of personnel training, move to a crosscutting continuous agricultural education, form a positive image of a rural worker in children from preschool and school years. One must also improve university and secondary vocational education, and, based on the use of information technology, provide the opportunity for continuous mastering the latest scientific and practical innovative achievements throughout their working life.
