Noteworthy, the process of professional development of any specialist is closely related to the formation of professional readiness of a specialist for future activities. The core of the professional development is a positive attitude of the individual to his/her future profession, fairly stable motives for future activities, professionally significant personality traits, professional knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as some experience of their application in practice. It is shown that in the period of direct implementation of pedagogical activity there is a correlation of the specialist’s theoretical knowledge and skills with the peculiarities of practical activities; some experience of pedagogical activity is gained; the individual style of embodiment and realization of pedagogical activity is formed taking into account the professionally important qualities of the person; there is a formation of pedagogical orientation; the pedagogical position is formed; prospects for further professional growth are determined. Thus, for the professional development of the person it is important to master the norms, standards of the profession, the formation of the necessary professional personal qualities, knowledge and skills to solve professional problems successfully, for the formation of motivational and value attitude to the person’s profession, individualization, awareness and the realization of the zone of the nearest professional development, readiness for the differentiated estimation of the activity, a combination of the professional openness, the ability to study independent creative searches. Despite some differences in the process of professional development of the specialist, in the psychological literature there is some unity of the opinion of researchers according to the concept of “professional development”, which means the development of specific professional qualities and personality traits. It is a process which is always quite active. Professional development is a gradual and dynamic process that causes positive changes in personal and professional qualities, contributes to the formation of a positive attitude to the sphere of future profession, the desire to master professional knowledge, skills and abilities. Thus, professional achievements, their evaluation by other people have a significant impact on the formation of many important personal characteristics, such as self-esteem, self-confidence, strengths and abilities. The latter includes the achievement of a certain social status in the society and in then paradigm of the professional sphere. Professional activity facilitates quite serious changes in the professional paradigm of the individual, determines a certain dominant strategy of individual behavior, goals and programs of actions, shows the attitude to the results of own professional activities of future specialists. It is proved that the process of students’ orientation in the world of values should be expanded in time and space, which would create a basis for the formation of the image of a future professional. The latter will characterize the future translator as a person who has risen to the professional level of his/her existence. The hierarchy of values of the translator will include a complex system of value-semantic scripts, which form a valuable attitude to professionally significant activities through awareness of a cognitive field of translation in the paradigm of subject-subject communication as the most important process and a system to master himself/herself. Thus, students themselves become creators of their own value-semantic scripts by presenting an active position of the translator.
