Abstract

An integrated description of the specific properties and characteristics of a social group presupposes the construction of its sociological portrait. The article presents theoretical and methodological foundations of sociological research, whose goal is to obtain a scientifically-based portrait of entrants, students and graduates of the system of secondary vocational education. It is substantiated that a comprehensive description of the social and status characteristics, career expectations and educational strategies of this social community should be based on the heuristic potential of resource, value-motivational and functional approaches and implemented within the neoclassical paradigm of scientific research.
