The social value of Computer Studies as a subject, which teaching should contribute to solving the problem of successful targeting of professional self-determination of schoolchildren on the most urgent in society, the specialty of IT industry, is extremely high. Therefore, an integral part of the professional training of future teachers of informatics in higher educational institutions should be their preparation for the career guidance of pupils on the IT specialty. Based on the results of scientific and pedagogical research of scientists, one can single out general principles of the same preparation. Such principles reflect the current general-didactic approaches to the methodology of the training of future teachers of informatics and have somewhat consistent content. The general principles include consistency, continuity and regularity; scientific and actuality (knowledge and professional skills); systematic; connection theory with practice; the unity of scientific and educational work; consciousness, activity and self-determination of students.
