Keywords:
freelancing skills, pedagogical software tools, digital competence, simulation technologies, artificial intelligence, adaptive competencies, career guidance, school education.Abstract
This paper examines contemporary approaches to developing freelancing skills among school students, with particular emphasis on the use of pedagogical software tools. In the context of the digital economy, fostering freelancing skills at an early stage has become an essential component of preparing students for future careers. The study analyzes the role of simulation-based learning environments (Simventure), artificial intelligence tools (Canva, Spline, and Kaiber), and online learning platforms in developing students' digital competencies. Furthermore, the paper synthesizes the experience of the "Free to Lance" project as an example of teaching freelancing skills in resource-constrained educational settings. The study also substantiates the pedagogical conditions necessary for developing students' adaptive competencies, including agency, adaptability, collaboration, and leadership.
