Despite the considerable number of strategic initiatives implemented by the state to build the professional potential of students — including through the development of professional competencies — a significant proportion of graduates are not employed in their specialty. This disrupts the continuity of the professional structure's reproduction and necessitates the development of new approaches to the formation and realization of students' professional potential. The article develops a new scientific approach to the formation and realization of the professional potential of student youth through the cumulative analysis of meaningful content and professional values, built on the values declared by the state (traditional Russian spiritual and moral values) and the values of student youth. On this basis the author's empirical model for the value-based diagnostics of students' professional potential is proposed, assessing each value across four indicators — an ideal attitude, personal significance, readiness to act, and reflection in actual actions. The article argues for moving from a competence-based approach to youth policy to a value-based one, in which the key indicator of professional-potential formation is the willingness to work (not merely the quality of skills), enabling prediction of young people's real involvement in the profession and identification of the "value gap" between the state and youth.
