Annotation: The article examines the future managers’ preparedness for career planning in conditions of high economic and social uncertainty. The study examines career components and the internal and external aspects of career de- velopment. It analyzes existing approaches to defining the concept of “career”, clarifying its content in light of professional activities under conditions of high uncertainty. This study demonstrates the role of self-management as a prerequisite for a successful managerial career and the extent to which psychological readiness components shape the future competitiveness of managers. The empirical study was based on a survey of students in the Management program. Analysis of the results revealed real difficulties in students’ career planning: low stress tolerance and a lack of habit in using psychological self-regulation techniques. The article proposes pathways for improving career planning skills among future managers based on psychological methods. It also provides recommendations for revising university educational programs to increase management students’ readiness to plan their professional careers in conditions of high uncertainty.
