Abstract: in the article, the authors examined the need to resolve issues of national security, economic and other strategic issues facing the Arctic zone and are of great importance for the whole of Russia, place increased demands on the quantitative and qualitative composition of the Arctic labor force, and explored the potential of universities located in the Arctic zone Russia, in the context of staffing strategic priorities for the development of the Arctic macroregion. The study is based on a comparative analysis of the forecast values of the need for personnel with higher education, calculated taking into account the established priorities for the development of the Arctic and the graduation rates of universities and their branches. Based on this, two methods assess the possibility of covering the needs of the economy through university graduates, both in general and in the context of specialties/areas of training. The impact of graduate migration on the human resources potential of the regions is taken into account. The importance of interregional cooperation with territories adjacent to the Arctic zone from the point of view of staffing is shown using the example of the Republic of Karelia. Based on the results of the study, disparities in the staffing of Arctic development priorities were identified in terms of the quantitative and qualitative composition of graduates. Conclusions and proposals for universities and executive authorities show specific ways to overcome the emerging structural imbalances in ensuring the strategic development of the Arctic with personnel with higher education. Issues of demand for university graduates and their employment prospects in the labor market have already been repeatedly covered in the pages of the magazine. However, an analysis of the potential of universities in the context of staffing the development priorities of the Russian Arctic zone is presented for the first time. The sources of data were documents on the strategic development of territories belonging to the Arctic zone of Russia, state statistical reporting on the economy, the labor market and the higher education system, results of monitoring the employment of university graduates according to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, Rosobrnadzor and educational organizations.

Key words: Arctic zone of Russia, youth, vocational education system, region, humanitarian development, population, education, personnel training, university graduates, economic needs, strategy, structural compliance, in-demand specialties.
