The paper presents the results of the analysis of the assessment of the acquisition of digital competencies of students of secondary vocational schools with a focus on the field of engineering in terms of: their importance for meeting the profile of the graduate; employability of graduates in the field; requirements of Industry 4.0; the difficulty of their acquisition at a secondary vocational school. The research team performed analysis of the implementation of the Framework Educational Program for the field of education 23-41-M / 01 Mechanical engineering in the conditions of secondary vocational school. The main tool of the quantitative research survey was an online questionnaire distributed to the principals of secondary vocational schools with a focus on the field of engineering. The research survey took place in February and March 2021, the respondents were school principals and other persons responsible for the implementation of the school curriculum. The ICT competence of students is given very strong attention by teachers of secondary schools of engineering They consider the acquisition of this competence to be the third most demanding in terms of its complexity. They consider ICT competence to be the most connected of all the requirements of Industry 4.0. ICT competence of graduates may be the second most important for employers and it is the second competence contributing to fulfilling the profile of a school graduate. ICT education is the fourth most important educational area in terms of engineering practice. And it is the most popular area for students. Two thirds of secondary schools rate the equipment with digital technologies as favorable and fully compliant. Analysis will enable us to provide FEP publishers, FEP implementing schools, graduate customers and the general professional public with supporting documents for negotiations leading to the optimization of educational documents in new and increasingly changing production and socio-economic conditions.
