In the article, there are considered two major aspects of the problem of optimal conjunction of the domestic and world experience in specialist training. The first aspect is continuity and organicity of the connection between professional culture and general culture of the concrete society; the second, the dependence of the dynamics of the society development on such basic mechanisms as self-manufacture and self-renewal. From the author's viewpoint, the technics is a universal, panhuman phenomenon, a phenomenon of human culture. Recognition of the variety of types of the technics, that are directly or indirectly connected with the cultural wealth of this or that local culture, creates necessary preconditions for self-understanding and development of the society's self-awareness. According to the author, orientation to individuality can become a strategy of survival and development for the peripheral institution of higher education. To this end, it is necessary to keep and multiply the positive experience which has been accumulated by the domestic educational system.
