Abstract
<jats:p>Recently, the problem of forming and developing the human resource potential of an enterprise has become of particular importance. Under such circumstances, personnel training ceases to be an auxiliary function of personnel management and is transformed into a strategic factor for ensuring the competitiveness of the enterprise, its adaptability and long-term sustainability, which determines the relevance of the study. The purpose of the article is the theoretical and methodological justification of personnel training as a strategic direction of enterprise management and determining its role in the formation of human capital and increasing the efficiency of the organization. In the process of conducting the research, a complex of general scientific and special methods of cognition was applied, including: analysis and synthesis, a systemic approach and a structural-logical method, a generalization method. Four main approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of "personnel training" are identified, namely as a purposeful process; as a system of measures; as a direction of managerial activity; as a set of structural elements. The author's approach is proposed, according to which personnel training is a purposeful organized activity aimed at acquiring and improving by employees the professional knowledge, skills and competencies necessary for the high-quality performance of functional duties in accordance with the goals of the enterprise. A three-level model of personnel training for an enterprise has been developed, consisting of individual, organizational and social levels. The strategic role of personnel training in the enterprise management system is determined, which is manifested in increasing labor productivity, ensuring innovative development, forming a personnel reserve, strengthening motivation, optimizing costs. In the social dimension, personnel training ensures the reproduction of human capital, professional mobility of the population, and increasing the competitiveness of the national economy.</jats:p>
