Abstract
The purpose of the article is to update the content of Russian youth’s education in the “Startup as a Diploma” format in the higher education system in order to increase the effectiveness of involving young people in entrepreneurship and ensure the competitiveness of the Russian economy. The study is based on the functional theory of entrepreneurship and the competence-based approach in education. The article reveals the core of the professional identity of graduates of educational programs in the format of “Startup as a Diploma”, provides a rationale for the didactic framework of training future start-up entrepreneurs – qualified pro- fessionals in the field of entrepreneurship, and discusses the basic features of ensuring the format of “Startup as a Diploma” in the process of preparation and implementation of higher education programs.
