The article analyzes modern definitions of "project management" given by Ukrainian and foreign scientists. Based on these, the characteristics of project activities are presented and motivation for studying and applying project activities is formed, particularly for students pursuing the educational degree of "Professional Junior Bachelor". It is noted that project management has stages of initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and completion, and the motivations include satisfying the individual's need for free choice of activity, high interest of executors, focus on results and quality assurance of achieved goals, adherence to implementation deadlines, compliance with the project execution plan, use of only limited resources provided, customer satisfaction from high-quality implementation, and the opportunity for employee training. The competencies that a student of a professional pre-higher education institution in agriculture should acquire are studied, and those competencies that can be formed in the process of studying the discipline "Project Management" are identified. The educational and professional programs for training professional junior bachelors in the specialties "201 Agronomy", "073 Management", "208 Agroengineering" in the 2023-2024 academic year in a number of professional agricultural pre-higher education institutions were analyzed, and it was found that they lack the discipline "Project Management". The necessity of introducing the discipline "Project Management" into the educational process of training professional junior bachelors in agricultural specialties is substantiated, as an elective course, taking into account the basic principles of forming elective disciplines, which usually include ensuring students' right to choose educational disciplines, creating an individual educational trajectory, and the correspondence of elective disciplines to labor market requirements and student interests.
