The article concerns the problem of training a  competitive person in the information and educational environment of a higher education institution. Professional formation of a person is conditioned by historical, social and cultural factors. This research is guided by the works of B.G. Afanas’iev, A.G. Asmolov, E.A. Klimov, V.A. Kal’ney, B.F. Lomov, V.D. Shadrikov, N.S. Pryazhnikov, S.E. Shishov, etc. The analysis of the literature on this subject suggests that the professional formation of a person should first of all be seen as the formation of professional orientation, the adequacy of the personality traits that are socially important and demanded, the desire for self-fulfillment.

Formation of the professional orientation goes through a number of stages, each featuring new objectives of the activity as well as new leading mechanism determining the activity.

The findings obtained provide a conclusive proof that clear and scientifically grounded organization of the educational process in a higher education institution is a prerequisite for the formation of a professionally orientated psychologist as an individual. The contents of the educational process must be interrelated, complementing each other, which will allow for comprehensive and purposeful development of the process.
