Institutional support for human capital development in the region as a factor of adaptation to digital transformation

Relevance. The process of digital transformation entails profound structural shifts in the economy, and in this regard, human capital is becoming a key strategic asset for the regions, which sets us the task of creating an integrated institutional system for its development and adaptation, which is of particular importance in the direction of sustainable development of the regions.

The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the relationship between institutional support for human capital development and the region's ability to adapt to digital transformation.

The objectives are to identify key issues and develop ways to improve the institutional support for human capital development in the Kursk region in the context of digital transformation.

Methodology. The research is based on a systematic approach that allows us to consider the region as an integrated system, where institutions, human capital and digital transformation processes are closely interconnected and mutually influenced. Additional methodological approaches are the institutional approach regulating the development of human capital and the resource approach, which considers human capital as a key strategic resource for regional development in the digital economy.

The results of the study showed the presence of disruptions in the work of regional structures, identified the main obstacles to digitalization and confirmed the urgent need to increase the effectiveness of interaction between government institutions, business and civil initiatives in the framework of forming a concept of cooperation between institutions for accelerated development of human capital, taking into account adaptation to modern requirements of the digital society. For a comprehensive assessment of the level of institutional support for human capital development in the region, a system of indicators has been proposed that includes three groups (basic, digital and institutional) to describe the state of the region's human capital and identify "gaps" and "growth points" in the context of digital transformation.

Conclusion. In the context of digital transformation, the directions of improving the institutional support for human capital development in the Kursk region have been developed.
