This article examines professional standards as a strategic instrument for transforming the workforce training system in the Republic of Uzbekistan amid ongoing labor market reforms. A comparative analysis is presented of approaches to the development and implementation of professional qualifications in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Russia, and Albania. Based on an analysis of the regulatory framework and the application of standards in Uzbekistan’s tourism sector, key challenges and barriers are identified. The results of an empirical study reveal the levels of perception of professional standards among employers and educational institutions, as well as indicate directions for the institutional development of the national qualification system. Particular attention is given to the adaptation of international practices to the national context. Based on a conducted SWOT analysis, recommendations are formulated for improving mechanisms of implementation and updating of professional standards.
