The article comprehensively analyzes the strategic role of the transport sector in the global economy in modern times, the importance of personnel training, and teacher professionalism in this field. It is noted that the effectiveness of transport systems is determined not only by the technical infrastructure, but also by the level of knowledge and skills of human resources. The uninterrupted operation of logistics chains, the safe organization of passenger transportation, and the development of international trade directly depend on the efficiency of transport systems. It is emphasized that the modern transport sector is developing with the application of digitalization, automation, and artificial intelligence technologies, and it is shown that these changes require new approaches to personnel training. The training of highly qualified personnel makes a significant contribution to increasing transport safety, optimizing logistics costs, and implementing innovative solutions. At the same time, it is noted that teacher professionalism directly affects the quality of the educational process, and their continuous development is necessary. The article substantiates the importance of personnel training based on the principle of lifelong learning rather than being limited to higher education institutions. The article also analyzes existing problems including the lack of full compliance of educational programs with modern requirements, limited practical opportunities, weak technical base, and lack of development opportunities for teachers. Strengthening cooperation between the state, universities, and industry is considered necessary to solve these problems. Ultimately, increasing teacher professionalism and establishing a modern personnel training system are identified as one of the main conditions for the sustainable development of the transport sector, increasing economic competitiveness, and international integration.
