  • Abstract

    Developing inclusive competence is becoming crucial for future socionomic professionals in the modern world, with its diversity of cultures and social and economic contexts. This article explores the methods and strategies needed to cultivate such competence in the face of contemporary challenges and constraints. The research employed survey methods, group discussions, observation and quantitative data analysis. The article presents a structural framework for forming inclusive competence in future socionomic professionals amidst contemporary challenges and constraints. Strategies influencing the development of inclusive competence among future professionals in the socionomic sphere are identified, namely: understanding the concept of inclusion; teaching empathy and intercultural communication; using methods and approaches of inclusive education; institutional support; creating barrier-free environments; promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace; support and counselling. The results of using a combination of these strategies include improving the quality of education, enhancing employability, developing social and intercultural skills, creating more inclusive organisational environments, increasing societal awareness and support, developing innovative solutions and strengthening social capital. The challenges of developing inclusive competence, the effectiveness of strategies to influence its development and the expected outcomes of implementing these strategies are examined. The authors conclude that the practical cultivation of inclusive competence contributes to the professional development of future professionals and serves as a key to a fairer and more sustainable society.
