Purpose of the study . The rapidly developing processes of the formation of the digital economy affect various spheres of human life in modern society, inevitably changing the educational environment. The aim of the work is to analyze the main development trends and emerging transformation processes in the field of higher education under the influence of growing digitalization and digital transformation of various aspects of human life. Materials and methods . In the course of the work, a dynamic, structural analysis of analytical and statistical information about the processes taking place in this area was used, as well as methods of theoretical research: analysis and generalization. Results . The pace of development of the digital economy in the modern world is very rapid, due to which the life of a number of professions is shortened, and changes affecting the content of labor contribute to the emergence of new ones. Based on this, it is necessary to understand the main directions of development in higher education, since personnel training is one of the most important components of the digitalization of the economy. The paper formulates the main directions for the development of education using digital technologies for the training of qualified specialists who meet the requirements of the digital economy and outlines a number of problems that the educational system will face in the process of transformation. Conclusion . The spread of digital and information technologies contributes to significant transformations in various fields of human activity and the sphere of higher education is no exception. The format of the digital economy is quite mobile, which leads to the fact that some specialties will emerge, others will lose their importance and disappear more or less rapidly, and also under the influence of constant and fairly rapid changes, the requirements for training will change. Considering the high mobility and variability of the current situation both in the economy and in the field of higher education, there is a need for constant adjustment of educational programs taking into account the ongoing changes. The rapid development of new knowledge and technologies, and many other reasons, contribute to significant transformations of higher education systems around the world. At the same time, considering the speed of changes, it is quite difficult at the present time to assess the entire range of challenges and problems that face the sphere of higher education. Separate sections of the work have been published earlier in a number of articles by the author devoted to this problem.
