Programme

Today, Russia is facing a shortage of personnel in key sectors of the economy. When it comes to solving this problem, the main challenge is to increase productivity while taking into account current labour resources, as well as to actively engage with young personnel to integrate them more fully into production processes. It is absolutely impossible to solve this problem without attracting young people into industry, both as rank-and-file employees responsible for the present and as inventors responsible for designing the future, specifically for the development of the economy itself. What is the current human resources situation? What are the challenges faced by industrial companies? What are the potential ways to develop and improve the education and training system for industry? How can young people be attracted to industrial enterprises? How can the prestige of employment in industry be raised among the younger generation? What measures can be taken to better integrate the training system with market requirements? What practices are most effective for attracting and retaining talent in enterprises?
