Results - the authors note the increased demand for specialists with modern knowledge and innovative technologies, who play a key role in shaping the next generation of leaders and innovators in agricultural production. The need for a high degree of teaching skills and deep understanding of industry trends, including peculiarities of the practice of developing agricultural sector, mastery of interdisciplinary sciences and effective teaching methodologies, and the ability to integrate them into educational programs has been proven. It should be pointed out that the ties between educational institutions and agricultural enterprises are not strong enough and that the content of education does not fully meet the requirements currently set by employers for the level of professional competence of graduates. The main task is to raise the level and quality of life of the Kazakh village and make it more attractive. Among the initial measures are scientific and personnel support for rural areas. Based on the study, it is substantiated that agricultural universities require not only structural changes, but also a deep modernization of agricultural education in order to meet the realities of today. Competent personnel are the key to effective work and, as a result, additional profit and stability of the enterprise. Conclusions - the creation of a model of interaction between agricultural educational institutions, business and the state will make it possible to supplement the innovative component in research activities with the development of direct ties with subjects of agro-industrial complex.
