The purpose of this study is to describe educational management tools that are used in bridging the gap between theory and practice, which are considered in the context of the reasons for this gap. The article is devoted to the problems of updating the professional competencies that graduates of economic universities receive. The authors of the article believe that the gap between theory and practice appears due to the lack of acquired practical skills and the expectations and needs of real business. The reasons for the discrepancy between the content of academic disciplines and the required practical skills were identified based on the analysis of a wide array of publications on the problems of teaching in universities, as well as by the method of sociological survey (questioning) of students. The article shows existing tools designed to mitigate the gap between theory and practice when mastering higher education programs. These tools include: inviting practitioners to teach at universities; using the case study method; partnerships between universities and commercial companies, including the creation of joint centers and departments; creation of a system of continuous training and internships for teachers; development of practice, including the use of immersive technologies. This study is in line with the discussion about current professional competencies, the stimulation of the use of which is necessary for management in the field of higher education.
