The article investigates the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in developing students’ professional competence within a digitalized educational environment. The study analyzes how digital technologies enhance the implementation of PBL and contribute to the formation of students’ practical skills, critical thinking, collaboration abilities, and digital literacy. The research highlights that the integration of PBL with digital tools such as learning management systems, virtual collaboration platforms, and simulation technologies significantly improves the quality of the learning process. The findings demonstrate that PBL in digital environments fosters student engagement, autonomy, and the ability to solve complex real-world problems, thereby ensuring alignment with modern labor market requirements
