The paper deals with the problem of vocational education teachers' readiness for training pre-retirement age citizens. With the introduction of the state program "Older Generation", aimed to improve the skills or mastering the new competence of pre-retirement age citizens, training centers for this contingent are actively opening up. The training is conducted by teachers of educational institutions of the secondary vocational education system. Training programs according to Worldskills standards within the framework of the championship movement "Skills of the Wise" provide an opportunity for people aged 50+ to upgrade their skills or to master a new competency on the basis of the existing one. The authors aim to identify the level of andragogical competence of a teacher of vocational education. The research is based on empirical methods such as comparative analysis, generalizations, observation, questionnaires, and experiment. The research results show that the education of older people cannot be based on general recommendations, and requires the use of certain methodological approaches in teaching methods.
