Introduction. The urgency of the problem of formation of professional wellness of students of technical universities - future specialists, is due to the instability of the labor market and, in general, professional activity. Undergoing changes, each professional field challenges not only current, but also future subjects of professional activity, and hence the entire system of higher education. At the same time, over a long period of professional activity, in order to increase and maintain professional wellness, it is not enough to limit oneself to the level of basic competencies obtained as a result of studying at a higher educational institution. Professional wellness is directly proportional to the level of implementation of current goals and external requests, including in the context of a change in work activity. The complexity in the formation of professional wellness at the stage of professional training is supported by both insufficient pedagogical knowledge of the phenomenon of professional wellness and psychological instability in the context of unforeseen development of professional technical fields. A forward look at the formation of the professional wellness of a future specialist should be supported by a methodological study of this problem.

Professional wellness can be discussed not only after reaching the heights of professionalism — acme, but already at the stage of professional training, and professional dynamism will correlate with the dynamism of professional wellness, which varies depending on the implementation of the goals.

Professional wellness reflects not only the success of self-realization in the professional sphere, it characterizes the real level of ability to work in conditions of changing both external and internal conditions of this process. The solution of professionally significant problems is determined by the current level of professional wellness. It is necessary to promote the formation of professional wellness of future specialists.
