The authors proposed a mechanism for developing professional communication experience, which includes the following contexts: visualizing professional communication, collecting feedback from employers on the work of a student trainee, creating a focus on students, developing clarity and confidence in the expression of their thoughts, creating a positive organizational culture in the process of internships, actual information on the course of practical training, creation of an individual roadmap of practical training for students, creation of a self-reporting system, the introduction of such an approach as H (honest): honesty, O (open): openness into the process of production practices; T (two-way): two-way communication. It is proved that the implementation of each context contributes to successful interaction within the university-employer system and ensures the receipt of high-quality experience of students' professional communication in the working environment. The article is intended for managers and teaching staff of the universities.
