Abstract
This article presents the results of an empirical study on the creation of digital profiles of students, which are understood as a visualization of the competencies acquired by a student as a result of mastering basic and additional disciplines, as well as a tool and means of electronic communications of the university and business structures, primarily employers. The results and prospects of creating digital profiles become the subject of scientific discussion and theoretical comprehension. The research interest is related to the assessment of domestic experience in the context of digitalization of higher education. The creation of digital profiles of university students requires constant monitoring and correction, as it has the format of a pilot project and is not systematic. The issues of determining the content of a student's digital profile, the format of its presentation, the methods of collecting and systematizing a sufficient amount of information understandable to external stakeholders are not always clear. The questionnaires developed as part of the study made it possible to obtain an expert assessment of the practice of creating digital profiles of students in domestic universities. Keywords: digitalization of education, digital profile, competencies of graduates, electronic communication, soft skills.
