The paper highlights the tendencies which occur in the processes of informatization and digitalization under conditions of postindustrial economy in relation to the system of further training. The author explores the outlooks and risks of digitalization in the further training system. The outlooks of digitalization offurther training are described by means of the model of reliable planning introduced by Taguchi. According to this model, efficient application of digital technologies in further training system is determined by minimum losses from consumers» dissatisfaction and high cost of technology. The article shows that outlooks of further training digitalization lie in application of cross-cutting digital technologies as big data; neurotechnology and artificial intelligence; distributed registry systems; quantum technologies; new production technologies; industrial Internet: robotics and sensor components; wireless communication technologies; virtual and augmented reality technologies, etc. This is seen to prevent further training lag from economic digitalization, existing requirements of digitalization in production and domestic sphere; to ensure development of material and informational infrastructure of organizations of further training; enhance the opportunities for learning new, cross-cutting technologies; ensure the system of lifelong learning; it will expand the opportunities not only for applying innovations but their development in the system of further training; ensure the increase in national education export; expand training opportunities for the system of further training. The author focuses on the risks related to digitalization offurther training and uses the model of total risks that includes the risks of direct losses received due to inefficient digital technologies in further training, and the risks of lost profits due to failed application of digital technologies in further training.
