Abstract [eng] This article presents research data from a focus group attended by Lithuanian and Ukrainian practitioners, employers of social work and social pedagogy and academic community members of higher education institutions (N = 83). These are expert assessments of the socio-educational situation of specialists’ preparation and graduates’ competences in Lithuania and the Ukraine. The results of the qualitative research – focus group and content analysis – have revealed that socio-educational problems and challenges both in Lithuania and the Ukraine are similar. They are influenced by increasing migration, unemployment, poverty, the growth of addictive illnesses, society’s passiveness and a reluctance to engage in social participation. Participants of the focus group (Lithuanian and Ukrainian practitioners, employers of social work and social pedagogy and academic community members of higher education institutions) highlighted the following positive aspects of training social workers and social pedagogues. These were the provision of a broad theoretical and subject knowledge, the formation of practical skills, and the high qualification status of university teachers. Negative aspects of the training were a lack of medical and managerial knowledge and a failure to assess the prospective specialists’ motivation and professional orientation during the recruitment and selection process.
