Results. The case study analysis recorded the participants’ satisfaction with the course content and technical solution, as well as the correspondence of expectations to the knowledge gained. The author made conclusions about the possible replication of the course preparation mechanics, which includes writing the program, searching for speakers, informing participants.
Conclusion. The results obtained can be used to solve problems of professional orientation of university students through online courses, as well as to further develop the topics of the international career of young professionals in the context of both the educational process and business tasks.
