Summary/Abstract: This article presents a study of work changes using the example of the fashion industry. The current trend of changes in work, work content and work environment was examined. The diagnosis of work content, according to the research methods of work pedagogy, was carried out on real jobs in the fashion industry by identifying professional tasks, professional competences/ qualifications and the simulation of forecasting technology changes using the foresight method. The growing role of employers in determining professional competences/qualifications of employees/graduates was considered in the research on work and work content. Based on the research, it was found that economic and social changes, scientific and technological progress influence the demand for new professions, new qualifications/competencies, changes in the graduate model and the system of continuing professional education. The research forms the basis for developing a new model of continuing professional education.
