The article examines the organizational and pedagogical foundations of national and international cooperation in the training of personnel for Ukraine’s security and defense sector. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to modernize the national system of military and special education under the conditions of security sector reform, alignment of educational standards with NATO and EU requirements, and the challenges of hybrid warfare, cyber threats, and information influence. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the organizational and pedagogical principles of national and international cooperation in the training of security and defense professionals and to present the author’s concept of enhancing interdepartmental interaction among higher education institutions. The methodological basis includes comparative analysis, systematization, and generalization of international experience, as well as the study of regulatory frameworks and strategic documents governing professional military education in NATO member states. The research results reveal the main trends in integrating the national personnel training system into the European educational space and highlight existing barriers and resources for improving cooperation efficiency. The proposed concept envisages the creation of an integrated training system based on unified standards, joint educational programs, mutual recognition of qualifications, and mechanisms of academic mobility. The necessity of interdepartmental coordination, the development of international partnerships, and participation in joint research programs and training initiatives under NATO and EU auspices is substantiated. The findings have theoretical and practical significance for improving Ukraine’s professional training system for the security and defense sector and ensuring its interoperability with international standards.
