The article attempts to analyze the organization and the results of educational practice, which is an important component of the process of preparing future specialists in the field of publishing and editing, for students who are studying at the first (bachelor’s) level of higher education. The European tendency of Ukrainian education provides not only reaching a single standardof educational programs, but also the proper professional training of specialists who could eventually realize the acquired knowledge and skills in any European country. Despite the existing differences in the technical equipment of publishing enterprises in Europe and in Ukraine, especially those located in the provinces, there is a certain set of knowledge and skills that will allow future specialists in the field of publishing to adapt to the latest printing equipment, to realize the acquired skills in further practical work.
