It is obvious that there is a need to train personnel for the agro-industrial complex, easily adapting to changes and quickly mastering new equipment and digital technologies of modern agricultural production. Currently, the training of agricultural specialists is impossible without continuous agricultural education, where the key element is the system of additional vocational education. The purpose of the article is to consider continuing education in the training of agricultural personnel in the digital economy on the basis of the Russian State Agricultural Academy named after K.A.

The article presents an example of the program implementation of additional professional education "Digital transformation in agriculture"; the developers of which are teachers of the Department of Applied Informatics. The structure and content of the program includes current trends and trends in the digital transformation of agriculture and agricultural education, the specifics of agricultural production as an object of digital transformation, GIS and remote sensing technologies and their application in agriculture, information and analytical systems in the economy and management of agriculture. Interpretation of the practical results of the study determined the need for a variety of short-term professional development programs in the system of continuing education, their relevance and practical implementation. Students and teachers note that it is important to implement a practice-oriented approach, dual training in continuing education, to show the practical significance of the transferred knowledge and skills in real life conditions.
