Youth is the future of the country, how do we influence it today?

Today, not all students can independently overcome the inner feelings associated with the unknown, and stress due to exams, admission, moving, in order to calmly get acquainted with the “new reality”, so they need help: surround them with professionals, demonstrate opportunities for personal growth. It is very important to simplify adaptation in a new environment, the student must receive the quintessence of all knowledge. For this, the New Start marathon is being launched on September 1.

One of the projects, the main goal of which is to inform freshmen about support measures at different levels from the university to federal programs, will be a marathon. The implementation of this project will help freshmen quickly integrate into a new team, learn about the possibilities of realizing their own talent with the help of state support measures. Grigory Aleksandrovich Gurov, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, spoke about this at a working meeting with representatives of educational organizations of higher education on the implementation of measures in the field of youth policy and educational activities in 2022 at the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.

In order for students to be able to build their personal career track from the very first year, the Career Center operates at many universities in the country. Their main goal is to form such a model of interaction between students and employers, in which the expectations and reality of both parties coincide. The emergence of the Career Center of Excellence was the result of a change in the environment in which Career Centers at universities exist today. Darya Alexandrovna Kozyreva, head of the Career Expert Center, spoke at the meeting about how the work of the Expert Center is being built now and what changes await the Career Centers, and subsequently the construction of career tracks for students. Today, the work of the Expert Center is carried out in two important areas — analytical and design. The task of the first is to solve the problem of the workload of Career Centers and reduce the amount of bureaucratic work, digitizing it in order to provide an opportunity to work in the main direction — promoting employment and employment of students and graduates.

The project direction of work, through the process of training employees of the Career Centers — an acceleration program, forms new skills and competencies necessary for a modern, rapidly changing world. Now the number of career centers has grown from 139 to 500, and 127 universities are already participating in the 30-week acceleration program.

“Our common task is to form the country’s human resources potential, and this is not just a challenge, but an opportunity to create the future of our city, region and country as a whole. In a couple of years, we will see a new generation of teachers, doctors, IT specialists and other specialists who will create a professional community in our country. Today, for effective interaction between employers, students and the university, it is important to use the Facultetus digital platform. Already, 466 universities, more than 451,000 active users of students, 90,000 organizations are connected to the Facultetus. The algorithms of the platform help to form, based on the interests of students, a professional development track for each young specialist, selecting specialized employers, profitable salary offers, training courses and webinars from top employers in the country and regions. Digital solutions are what help students to shape their career trajectory and find their dream job,” — said Darya Alexandrovna.
