Abstract: The article provides a theoretical substantiation of general aspects of developing a system for modeling the formation of professional orientation among students of socionomic profiles in the context of continuous training.The relevance of the study is determined by the increasing social responsibility, ethical complexity, and emotional workload inherent in "person-person" professions, which require future specialists not only to possess professional competencies but also to demonstrate a stable internal orientation toward professional activity.Professional orientation is considered as an integrative personal formation combining motivational, value-semantic, cognitive, and reflective components and determining students' readiness for conscious acceptance of the professional role.It is shown that, under conditions of continuous education, the formation of professional orientation should be systematic and consistent, covering bachelor's and master's levels of training and ensuring their content-related and methodological continuity.The rationale for using modelling as a methodological tool for designing the process of forming professional orientation is substantiated.The modeling system is interpreted as a holistic logical and structural construct integrating educational goals, training content, forms of organizing educational activity, and the expected outcomes of students' professional development.The methodological foundations for constructing the model are identified, in particular competency-based, activity-based, and student-centered approaches, which ensure the alignment of external professional requirements with internal personal resources.The article identifies and characterizes the key principles of the modeling system.It is shown that their implementation creates conditions for integrating theoretical training, practical experience, and personal comprehension of professional activity.As a result, the modeling system is presented as an effective tool for optimizing the professional training of socionomic students and fostering a stable professional orientation in the context of continuous education.
